Justice in Tribunals deals with the law relating to quasi-judicial authorities of government, professions, sporting organisations, industrial, political and commercial associations and their supervision by the regular courts. By no means confined to general principles, it treats in detail due process before proceedings commence, urgent action, proper notice of issues to be decided, the right to legal representation, procedure in hearings, the right to reasons, internal appeals and bias (actual and apprehended). It includes a chapter on Royal Commissions and commissions of inquiry, and new material dealing with anti-corruption commissions. Justice in Tribunals has been referred to with approval in decisions of superior courts of all States and New Zealand. - Publisher's website.
