AUDI ALTERAM PARTEM: PRINCIPLES OF NATURAL JUSTICEsebis1
These slides are regarding Audi Alteram Administrative law is the body of law that governs the activities of administrative agencies of government. Administrative law deals with the decision-making of administrative units of government such as tribunals, boards or commissions in such areas as international trade, manufacturing, taxation, broadcasting, immigration and transport. Administrative law expanded greatly during the twentieth century, as legislative bodies worldwide created more government agencies to regulate the social, economic and political spheres of human interaction.
4. DEFINITION Administrative law deals with the powers and functions of the administrative authorities, the manner in which the powers are to be exercised by them and the remedies that are available to the aggrieved persons when those powers are abused by the authorities. Jain and Jain – Four aspects of Administrative Law. Administrative Law deals with mainly 4 aspects: Composition and the powers of administrative authorities. Fixes the limits of the powers of these authorities. Prescribes the procedure to be followed by these authorities in exercising such powers. Controls these administrative authorities through judicial and other means.
THE PRINCIPLES OF NATURAL JUSTICE Natural justice is a principle that is intended to ensure law with fairness and to secure justice. The Principles of Natural Justice have come out from the need of man to protect himself from the excesses of organized power. The Principles of Natural Justice are considered the basic Human Rights because they attempt to bring justice to the parties naturally. THREE BASIC PILLARS Three core points in the concept of principles of natural justice include: Nemo in propria causa judex, esse debet - No one should be made a judge in his own case, or the rule against bias. Audi alteram partem - Hear the other party, or the rule of fair hearing, or the rule that no one should be condemned unheard. Speaking order or reasoned decision- Speaking order means an order which contains reasons for the decision. No system of law can survive without these three basic pillars.
‘’Audi alteram partum means ‘‘hear the other side’’ or ‘‘no man should be condemned unheard 'or ‘‘both the sides must be heard before passing any order’’. This is the basic requirement of rule of law.
AUDI ALTERAM PARTEM “A party is not to suffer in person or in purse without an opportunity of being heard.’’ It is mainly applicable in the field of administrative action and is regarded as the first principle of civilised jurisprudence. In short, before an order is passed against any person, reasonable opportunity of being heard must be given to him.
The maxim includes two elements • NOTICE. • HEARING.
A process server is a authorized person for delivering legal documents, such as summons, complaints, subpoenas, and other court papers, to peoples involved in legal proceedings.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
