What is the point of holding a hearing?

The significance of holding a hearing:

1. Find out the truth. Formal hearings are of a quasi-judicial nature, adopting a structural model in which two principals confront each other and the moderator takes the lead in the proceedings. During the hearing, the moderator listens to the statements of the prosecution and defense and questions witnesses. The prosecution and defense can cross-examine witnesses and conduct debates. In this way, the evidence of both the prosecution and the defense is fully displayed during the hearing, and their authenticity and relevance are discussed, which is conducive to discovering the truth and providing a basis for the administrative agency's decision.

2. Ensure the neutrality of rulings and the legitimacy of administrative results. The most basic requirement of procedural fairness is that the person making the decision is in a neutral position and does not favor any party. Since the 17th century, British judiciary has held that judges must not have their own personal motives. The hearing moderator system stipulated in the Administrative Procedure Law enables administrative judges or other hearing moderators to have certain characteristics of judges to a certain extent. If the moderator is served by someone other than an investigator, the recusal system is applicable and unilateral discussions with the parties are prohibited. Contact etc.

3. Ensure the equality of counterparties, effective participation in administrative decisions and decision-making, and realize democracy in administrative decisions. An American professor believes that "equality of procedure means equality of participation. The procedure is only designed to make participants predictable and rational, and predictability and rationality are obviously used to protect the self-esteem of any party involved."
