Does a judge or adjudicator have judicial immunity if they fail to follow the rules of natural justice?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Tsemo v. Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, 2012 HRTO 1476 (CanLII):
In addition, as noted in Kogan v. Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, 2011 HRTO 1486, judicial immunity applies even where a dissatisfied party alleges that the adjudicator did not follow the rules of natural justice. While such failure may result in decisions being overturned on appeal or judicial review, it does not make the adjudicator or judge personally liable for such errors.
