What is the case law on natural justice and due process?

Alberta, Canada


The following excerpt is from Alberta Pharmaceutical Association v. Finlay, 1997 ABCA 133 (CanLII):

It must not be forgotten that this is a professional discipline proceeding, the outcome of which could jeopardize the professional privileges of the respondents. Implicit in Clarke J.’s reasons is the traditional concern of this Court that; “… When it is realized how serious a matter it is to deprive a professional of his profession, it is all the more imperative that natural justice be recognized.” Re Roenisch v. Alberta Veterinary Medical Association (1968) 1968 CanLII 641 (AB QB), 66 D.L.R. (2d) 358, Milvain J. The presence of a legally constituted disciplinary tribunal in these matters is surely no less than a requisite of natural justice and, I would add, due process.
