| In administrative cases, a fair and reasonable opportunity to explain one's side suffices to meet the requirements of due process.[21] A formal or trial-type hearing is not always necessary.[22] For the purpose of ascertaining the truth, an investigation will be conducted, during which technical rules applicable to judicial proceedings need not always be adhered to.[23] And where the party has the opportunity to appeal or seek reconsideration of the action or ruling complained of, defects in procedural due process may be cured.[24] | |||||
