Due Process; EQUALITY OF ARMS Clause (UK Rule).


Excerpts:


"As a general rule, real justice and a fair trial can only be achieved by open hearings, open disclosure, each side confronting the other’s witnesses and open judgments.

Such procedures are adopted in certain classes of case (see the examples given below)."
