NATURAL JUSTICE
OBSERVANCE OF PRINCIPLES, , CHIEF JUSTICE’S . VIEW. WELLINGTON, July 6. While presiding in the Court of Appeal yesterday, the Chief Justice, Rt-. Hon. Sir Michael Myers, P.C., took the opportunity of remarking upon the importance which attached in his opinion to any suggestion that the principles of natural justice had not been observed. His Honour’s remarks were prompted by mention which had been made -of the time occupied by the hearing of a certain case when the amount involved was comparitively small. “Whatever the . amount is, small otV largo,“ said, his Honour, “to my miltd there is nothing more important than the proper administration of our law 5 and when in a case the suggestion is made that the principles of natural justice have not been observed it is a most important one, whatever the amount involved. One of the first principles upon which the administration of our law is based is that no person in civil or criminal proceedings should he condemned unheard.”
