“…Alongside the fair hearing rule, procedural fairness also entails the rule against bias: an expectation that the ' decisionmaker' will ' approach a matter with an open mind that is free of prejudgment and prejudice' (Groves 2009). This requirement reaches beyond a need for the absence of bias and demands that there is no risk of bias (Revie v Football Association [1979] The Times, 14 December 1979).…”

This article examines the International Tennis Federation's disciplinary regime as it applies to on-and off-court indiscipline, in order to assess the extent to which it complies with well-accepted requirements of procedural fairness.
