… However, administrative tribunals are the masters of their own procedures and, unlike courts, need not be shackled by all of the requirements of natural justice; rather, they are entitled to devise flexible procedures adapted to their needs in order to “achieve a certain balance between the need for fairness, efficiency and predictability of outcome”: Knight v. Indian Head School Division No. 19, 1990 CanLII 138 (SCC), [1990] 1 S.C.R. 653, at 685.
