Natural justice is identified with the two constituents of a fair hearing, which are the rule against bias ( " nemo iudex in causa sua ", or " no man a judge in his own cause " ), and the right to a fair hearing ( " audi alteram partem ", or " hear the other side " ).

Inherent in procedural fairness is the common-law " audi alteram partem " rule : " Hear the other side . " Its application is illustrated in " The Director : Mineral Development, Gauteng Region v Save the Vaal Environment ", where the applicant had granted a mining licence to carry out open-cast mining near the Vaal river.

:In the longer term there needs to be a formal system in place to deal with issues like this, preferably-- as natural justice demands ( " Audi alteram partem " )-- with the discussion taking place on the talk page of the user id under discussion ( similar to the way we deal with article RfCs ), or at the very least a devils advocate on this page .-- but this is another issue for another time.
