What is the duty of procedural fairness owed to an administrative body?

Procedural fairness ensures that administrative decisions are made using a fair, impartial, open, and transparent process that provides those affected by the decision an opportunity to know the case against them and to fully put forth their views and the evidence they wish the decision-making body to consider. The duty of fairness is flexible, variable, and contextual in nature, and accordingly, the level of procedural fairness owed will vary depending, in part, on purpose and intent of the applicable legislation and the process for decision making outlined in the legislation: Buryn v. Alberta (Minister of Municipal Affairs), 2017 ABQB 613, para 31.
