What is the legal test for giving notice of an organization's disciplinary proceedings?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Gymnopoulos et al v Ontario Association of Basketball Officials, 2016 ONSC 1525 (CanLII):
The basic requirements of natural justice are notice, an opportunity to be heard and an unbiased tribunal. It is insufficient to merely advise a member of an organization that his or her conduct is going to be considered at a meeting (Lakeside Colony of Hutterian Brethren v. Hofer, 1992 CanLII 37 (SCC), [1992] 3 S.C.R. 165 at page 195). Even in cases where a decision with respect to sanctions is obvious, the affected party is still entitled to procedural fairness (at page 222).
