Summary/Abstract: The drive of modern justice towards speed and efficiency is often realised at the expense of fairness. The neglect of fundamental principles of law, such as publicity and immediacy, which have proved their usefulness in the light of experience, leads to flawed administration of justice. This article examines the importance of these two fundamental principles of the administration of justice, while providing a reasoned critique of some conflicting legal provisions and practices. It is argued that publicity and immediacy are key prerequisites for arriving at the truth and, consequently, the just resolution of a legal dispute.
