    C An illegality Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Explanation: The rule of Audi Alterem Partem is the right to fair hearing. If there is a violation of the rule then it needs to be justified. It depends on the facts and circumstances of every case. If the rule of Audi Alterem Partem is violated then the decision becomes void. A certain procedure needs to be followed in the rule. A person must be given full opportunity to defend himself. Nobody will condemn without being heard. If the rule is violated the order becomes null and void.
