Background
The applicant, a director in the Ministry of Finance, was subjected to disciplinary proceedings before the Civil Service Commission. After raising preliminary issues including constitutional concerns, the disciplinary committee adjourned to consider these points but when it reconvened, it had made a decision on both the preliminary issues and the merits of the misconduct charges without hearing the applicant on the merits.
