Procedural Impropriety – duty to act fairly/natural justice


“Judicial review has I think developed to a stage today when…one can conveniently classify
under three heads the grounds upon which administrative action is subject to control by
judicial review.
• The first ground I would call ‘illegality,’
• the second ‘irrationality’ and
• the third "procedural impropriety.’”

(Lord Diplock in the GCHQ case)

PROCEDURAL IMPROPRIETY – DUTY TO ACT FAIRLY

ISSUE: The issue in this scenario is under the ground of what Diplock in the GCHQ case
called, ‘procedural impropriety’ and more specifically this engages with duty to act fairly.

ARTICULATE LEGAL TEST Decision makers must act fairly by adopting fair procedures
and following the rules of ‘natural justice’

AUTHORITY FOR TEST Bourgass

WAYS TO ACT FAIRLY  Give notice (but how much detail?) – telling someone
you’re making a decision
 Written representations – for the decision maker to be
invited and accept
 An oral hearing – people get together and present
their side of their story and their facts
 Cross examination of witnesses
 Legal representation

As you go down the list your participation increases

WHY REQUIRE Improving decision making (instrumental value)
FAIRNESS???  Adopting fair procedures leads to good decision
making
 this is an indirect way of improving outcomes as the
courts are reluctant to intervene so if the decision
process is already good they don’t have to

ethical value
 state interaction with citizens
 state treats people appropriately as an individual with
respect as it would be disrespectful to make decisions
about people without letting them have a say

WHEN IS FAIRNESS Rather than asking what does fairness require they asked
REQUIRED??? when is fairness required
