  1. No man shall be Judge in his own cause (the judge should not have any interest or bias in any party)
  • The Court / Tribunal must act honestly and impartially and not under the dictation of other persons to whom authority is not given by Law

    2.  Audi alteram partem (Both sides shall be heard)
