Due Process in Administrative Proceedings

Due process in administrative proceedings ensures that individuals or organizations receive a fair and impartial review when a government agency makes decisions affecting them. This includes providing notice of the issues, an opportunity to present evidence and arguments, and a fair hearing before an impartial decision-maker. It protects against arbitrary or unjust actions by guaranteeing transparency, participation, and the chance to defend one's rights or interests. Essentially, due process ensures that administrative decisions are made fairly and following established legal procedures.
