156: Rules of natural justice to be observed

You could also call this:

“Fair treatment for everyone when decisions are made”

When the Board and investigators are doing their jobs under this law, they must follow the rules of natural justice. This means they have to be fair and unbiased in how they make decisions. You can expect them to listen to all sides of a story, give everyone a chance to speak, and make choices based on facts, not personal opinions. These rules help make sure that everyone is treated fairly and equally when the Board and investigators are carrying out their duties.
