Great. I also have more questions than I have time for, so I really urge you to keep your answers as brief as possible. Thank you.
I note that in recent years the commission and the tribunal have conducted secret hearings to withhold evidence from defendants, to conceal the names of accusers, and to even exclude a defendant from portions of his own hearing, among other things.
I am a lawyer, and as I'm sure you would probably know, such practices do not occur in regular courts. If they did, they would bring the administration of justice into disrepute. So my first question is this. Who approves these kinds of legal tactics? Secondly, does either the commission or the tribunal have any sort of a manual of legal procedure that must be used during these hearings, or do they actually just make it up as they go along?
