As I have stated, it is impossible to have a fair hearing or to have procedural fairness if a reasonable apprehension of bias has been established. If there has been a denial of a right to a fair hearing it cannot be cured by the tribunal's subsequent decision. A decision of a tribunal which denied the parties a fair hearing cannot be simply voidable and rendered valid as a result of the subsequent decision of the tribunal.
Procedural fairness is an essential aspect of any hearing before a tribunal .
The damage created by apprehension of bias cannot be remedied. The hearing, and any subsequent order resulting from it, is void. The Right to Notice. The Right to A Fair Hearing. P.O. Box 1200, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
