If government refuses to give reasons and hearing while banning an organisation, what will be lacking?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Natural justice and fair procedure
Stating the reasons for banning an organisation and giving it an opportunity to present its case are essential parts of natural justice and fair procedure. Without them, government action may become arbitrary and the affected organisation is denied a hearing. An electoral mandate relates to electing a government, not to procedural fairness. Exam tip: phrases such as “give reasons” and “opportunity of hearing” usually point to natural justice.
