Procedural fairness in administrative license revocation hearings
Quick fact
In many jurisdictions, a licence—such as a professional or business licence—is considered a 'property interest', so the government cannot take it away without providing a fair hearing first.
Why this is interesting
Imagine losing your driving licence, your medical licence, or your liquor licence—not in a courtroom, but in a government office. Could that decision be made fairly without a judge?
