Description
"your argument puts you in a singular position" : Lord St. Leonards L. C. in Dimes v. Grand Junction Canal (Proprietors of) (1853) 3 H.L.C. 759, 768. : I believe that no textbook devoted exclusively to natural justice has hitherto been published, although the topic has, of course, been discussed in books and publications written on other subjects to the extent to which it is germane thereto. It is this lack of comprehensive treatment which has been a source of difficulty to me on many occasions in practice and which I have accordingly endeavoured to remedy in the pages of this volume. I have also sought to arrange and classify the available material on the subject in order to extract and demonstrate the underlying principles of natural justice which the absence of any unified treatment of the subject has tended to obscure.
