Natural justice was breached where the Commissioner disagreed with an exoneratory inquiry report without communicating adverse reasons or material to the customs broker and without affording an opportunity to reply; the article emphasises that administrative authorities must disclose adverse material and reasons when they intend to reject a favorable inquiry report so the broker can rebut or explain, and that failure to do so vitiates disciplinary action.
