The phrase "Justice must not only be done, but must also be seen to be done" is a famous legal aphorism established by Lord Hewart, then Lord Chief Justice of England, in Rex v. Sussex Justices, 1 KB 256. This principle holds that the mere appearance of bias is sufficient to overturn a judicial decision.
In the European Court of Human Rights case Dombo Beheer B.V. v. The Netherlands (1993), the court emphasised that "each party must be afforded a reasonable opportunity to present their case under conditions that do not place them at a substantial disadvantage vis-à-vis their opponent."
In a justice system where bias or inequity can undermine judicial outcomes, Lexia Law strives to balance the scales, providing access to justice and ensuring 'equality of arms' for all.
