href="/wiki/Technical_terminology" class="mw-redirect" title="Technical terminology">technical terminology</a> for the rule against bias (<i><a href="/wiki/Nemo_iudex_in_causa_sua" title="Nemo iudex in causa sua">nemo iudex in causa sua</a></i>) and the right to a fair hearing (<i><a href="/wiki/Audi_alteram_partem" title="Audi alteram partem">audi alteram partem</a></i>). While the term <i>natural justice</i> is often retained as a general concept, it has largely been replaced and extended by the general "duty to act fairly". </p><p>The basis for the rule against bias is the need to maintain public confidence in the legal system. Bias can take the form of actual bias, imputed bias, or apparent bias. Actual bias is very difficult to prove in practice whereas imputed bias, once shown, will result in a decision being void without the need for any investigation into the likelihood or suspicion of bias. Cases from different jurisdictions currently apply two tests for apparent bias: the "reasonable suspicion of bias" test and the "real likelihood of bias" test. One view that has been taken is that the differences between these two tests are largely semantic and that they operate similarly. </p><p>The right to a fair hearing requires that individuals should not be penalized by decisions affecting their rights or legitimate expectations unless they have been given prior notice of the case, a fair opportunity to answer it, and the opportunity to present their own case. The mere fact that a decision affects rights or interests is sufficient to subject the decision to the procedures required by natural justice. In Europe, the right to a fair hearing is guaranteed by <a href="/wiki/Article_6_of_the_European_Convention_on_Human_Rights" title="Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights">Article 6(1) of the European Convention on Human Rights</a>, which is said to complement the <a href="/wiki/Common_law" title="Common law">common law</a> rather than replace it. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Natural_justice&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Background"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:ON-CourSupreme_20090606-164356_panoramique.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7f/ON-CourSupreme_20090606-164356_panoramique.jpg/220px-ON-CourSupreme_20090606-164356_panoramique.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="138" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7f/ON-CourSupreme_20090606-164356_panoramique.jpg/330px-ON-CourSupreme_20090606-164356_panoramique.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7f/ON-CourSupreme_20090606-164356_panoramique.jpg/440px-ON-CourSupreme_20090606-164356_panoramique.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1200" data-file-height="750" /></a><figcaption>The courtroom of the <a href="/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_Canada" title="Supreme Court of Canada">Supreme Court of Canada</a> in <a href="/wiki/Ottawa" title="Ottawa">Ottawa</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ontario" title="Ontario">Ontario</a>.

If this requirement is satisfied, a fair hearing can be conducted without detailed disclosure of confidential information that might compromise national security. On the facts of the case, a special advocate was not permitted further contact with an applicant or his ordinary legal representatives except with permission of the <a href="/wiki/Special_Immigration_Appeals_Commission" title="Special Immigration Appeals Commission">Special Immigration Appeals Commission</a> (SIAC) after viewing confidential (or "closed") materials. </p><p>The House of Lords recognized that although a special advocate's usefulness is stymied somewhat from having no further instructions after viewing such materials, if the SIAC decides to issue a control order predominantly on the basis of non-confidential (or "open") materials, an applicant cannot be regarded as having been denied an opportunity to challenge the reasonableness of the government's beliefs and suspicions about him. If the evidence against the applicant is largely closed but allegations contained in open material are sufficiently specific, an applicant should be able to provide his legal representatives and special advocate with information to refute it (such as an <a href="/wiki/Alibi" title="Alibi">alibi</a>, if the open material alleges he was at a certain place during a certain period) without having to know the detail or sources of the closed evidence. However, if the evidence revealed to the person consists only of general assertions and the case against him is based solely or to a substantive extent on undisclosed adverse evidence, the fair hearing rule under natural justice will not be satisfied.<sup id="cite_ref-AF_54-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-AF-54"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>54<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap">: <span title="Page: 350-2

First, since the grounds for a reasonable suspicion that a person is involved in terrorist activity can span from incontrovertible evidence to an innocent misinterpretation of facts which can be explained away by the person, in many cases it is impossible for courts to be sure that the disclosure of the evidence will make no difference to the applicant. Secondly, resentment will be felt by the person and his family and friends if sanctions are imposed without any proper explanation of the grounds and when, due to the non-disclosure of information, the person is put in a position where he is unable to properly defend himself.
