The maxim ‘no man/person shall be condemned unheard’ is a fundamental principle of natural justice. In legal terms, this principle is known as *Audi Alteram Partem*, which is Latin for “hear the other side”. It requires that a person has the right to a fair hearing before a decision is made against them.

‘Audi Alteram Partem’ is a cornerstone of natural justice ensuring the right to be heard.

*Autrefois acquit* and *Autrefois convict* are legal pleas in criminal law related to the rule against double jeopardy (meaning one cannot be tried twice for the same crime if previously acquitted or convicted). *Non bis in idem* is the Latin equivalent of double jeopardy.
