Research Problem
The present case of Ridge v. Baldwin relates to the concept of Natural Justice. In it broadest sense natural justice may mean simply the natural sense of what is right and wrong and even in its technical sense it is now often equated with fairness. The issue always arises that does the Natural Justice is been always done? Can it be said that the violation of the natural justice would make the decision void? There are many question arises relating to this issue. Whereas in the administrative law natural justice is a well defined concept which compromise two fundamental rules of fair procedure: that a man may not be judge in his own cause; and that a mans defence must always be fairly heard. In courts of law and in statutory tribunals it can be taken for granted that these rules must be observed. But so universal are they, so natural, that they are not confined to judicial power. They apply equally to administrative power, and sometimes also to powers created by contract. Natural justice is one of the most active department of administrative law. There are both broad and narrow aspect to consider. The narrow aspect is that the rules of natural justice are merely a branch of the principal of natural justice. Violation of natural justice is then to be classified as one of the varieties of wrong procedure, or abuse of power, which transgress the implied condition which parliament is presumed to have intended. Just as a power to act as he thinks fit does not allow a public authority to act unreasonably or in bad faith, so it does not allow disregard of the elementary doctrines of fair procedure. The violation of natural justice makes the decision void, as in any other case of ultra vires. For the moment it is enough to note that the rules of natural justice thus operates as implied mandatory requirements, non-observation of which invalidates the exercise of the power. In its wider aspect the subject contains the very kernel of the problem of administrative justice; how far ought both judicial and administrative power to rest on common principles? How far is it right for the courts of law to try to impart their own standards of justice to the administration? When special power to take action or to decide dispute are vested in administrative bodies with the very object of avoiding the forms of legal process, is there yet a residuum of legal procedure which ought never to be shaken off? Since the decision to which the rules apply are very various, they have to be flexibly applied and their precise content depends on the circumstance. But their generally applicability to government action is today beyond doubt.
