Practice question
A tribunal is asked to use a reasonable ocular inspection and information from well-informed persons to resolve a factual labor controversy. One party says every such method is forbidden because it is not a full court trial; the other says the method allows the tribunal to disregard due process. Which is best?
- The current rules permit reasonable fact-finding means including the identified methods, but expressly retain due process
- Both parties are necessarily correct
- Only a full criminal trial can establish labor facts
- Any inspection automatically decides the entire case
- A method authorized in principle eliminates every duty of fairness
