Summary:
One of the basic principles of natural justice in circumstances such as this is to preserve the tapes of proceedings before the Board until the expiry of the appeal period. As soon as an appeal is filed, the tapes should be made available to the claimant, if requested. Here, he requested them.
It is a violation of a basic principle of natural justice to deny the claimant access to the tapes when he has been asked and gave his permission to tape the proceedings and when he made a specific request for the resulting tapes.
