“[A]ny tribunal permitted by law to try cases and controversies must not only be unbiased but must avoid even the appearance of bias.”
8 later decisions quote this exact passage““The proper procedure is to file the charges at the time Council suspends the employee and notify the employee of same within five days. There are at least three reasons for requiring this procedure: (a) that the employee may be informed of what misbehavior he is accused and rectify it if he so chooses, (b) that the employee can determine whether the charges are statutorily sufficient, and (3) (sic) that he can decide whether to take an appeal to the Civil Service Commission and, if he does, to file a timely answer.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Because of the long delays and the looseness of the procedure that denied appellant the protection afforded by the Act of Assembly and due process, the order of the lower court is reversed and the suspension set aside.”
