Consideration 2
Extract:
"What the right [to a hearing] requires is that the parties should have a chance to state their views before any decision is taken to their detriment. It does not mean that they must be allowed to comment at every stage in the procedure. In particular they have no right to be consulted by a branch whose opinion is sought by the decision-maker, and [the directorate] was not required to give the complainant a hearing when it was consulted for the second time about her grading."
