Practice question
An agency permanently cancels an existing property-related authorization as a penalty without giving its holder notice or any opportunity to answer. The facts stipulate that no emergency or recognized exception justifies summary action. Which due process concern is most direct?
- The holder must agree with every penalty.
- Only substantive due process can ever apply.
- The agency must win an election before acting.
- Any later press release necessarily cures the defect.
- The denial of a meaningful opportunity to be heard presents a procedural due process problem.
