Fair Administrative Procedures

Fair Administrative Procedures refer to the standard steps and rules that government agencies or organizations must follow when making decisions that affect individuals, such as granting permits or imposing penalties. These procedures ensure decisions are made transparently, impartially, and with proper consideration of relevant facts. Key elements include providing notice of the decision, allowing individuals to present their side or evidence (a fair hearing), and giving reasons for the decision. Overall, these procedures protect people's rights by ensuring authority acts justly and decisions are accountable and based on proper process.
