(1.) JUSTICE hurried is justice buried. Rule of audi alteram partem (No one should be condemned unheard) or audiatur et altera pars (Hear the other side ). Nemo in-auditus condemnari debet is non sit contumax (No man should be condemned without being heard unless he be contumacious ). Qui aliquid statuerit, parie inaudita altera, acquum licet, dixerit, haud acquum facerit (He who determines any matter without hearing both sides, though he may have decided right, has not done justice ). Justice should not only be done, but be seen to be done.
(2.) THESE are some of the basic maxims/principles which are sine qua non for the enforcement of rule of law as well as rule of justice.
