administrative process. They constitute the basic elements of a fair hearing, having their roots in the innate sense of man for fair-play and justice which is not the preserve of any particular race or country but is shared in common by all men. The first rule is nemo judex in causa sua ' or nemo debet esse judex in propria causa sua ' as stated in (1605) 12 C R 114 , that is, 'no man shall be a judge in his own cause'. Coke used the form 'aliquis non debet esse judex in propria causa quia non potest esse judex at pars ' ( Co. Litt. 1418 ), that is, 'no man ought to be a judge in his own cause, because he cannot act as Judge and at the same time be a party;. The form 'nemo potest esse simul actor et judex' , that is, 'no one can be at once suitor and judge' is also at times used. The second rule and that is the rule with which we are concerned in this case is 'audi alteram partem ', that is, 'hear the other side'. At times and particularly in continental countries, the form ' audietur at alteram pars ' is used, meaning very much the same thing, A corollary has been deduced from the above two rules and particularly the audi alteram partem rule, namely ' qui aliquid statuerit parte inaudita alteram actquam licet dixerit, haud acquum facerit ' that is, 'he who shall decide anything without the other side having been heard, although he may have said what is right, will not have been what is right' (See Bosewell' case10 ): or in other words, as it is now expressed, 'justice should no only be done but should manifestly be seen to be done'.
