California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Wilson v. Civil Service Commission of Los Angeles County, 224 Cal.App.2d 340, 36 Cal.Rptr. 559 (Cal. App. 1964):
The rules promulgated by the commission relating to hearings or appeals not only are consistent with the duties imposed on the commission, but they appear to be well within the scope of that which is 'necessary and proper for the enforcement' of these duties. Thus, in instances where a charter provided that no civil service employee should be discharged 'except for cause' it has been held that such limitation alone necessarily implied that provision must be [224 Cal.App.2d 346] made to accord the employee a full and formal hearing. (Steen v. Board of Civil Service Commrs., 26 Cal.2d 716, 723, 160 P.2d 816, et seq.) Such a view conforms with the established judicial regard for administrative jurisdiction.
