Equality of Arms

The principle of Equality of Arms is a fundamental aspect of fair legal proceedings, ensuring that both parties in a case have an equal opportunity to present their evidence and arguments. It requires the legal process to be balanced so that neither side has an unfair advantage, allowing for an impartial hearing. This means courts provide necessary support, such as access to legal representation or evidence, to prevent any party from being disadvantaged. Ultimately, it helps promote justice by ensuring fairness and transparency in the resolution of disputes.
