                              1. Right to Reasons: no automatic duty (Hassan), UNNLESS decision looks aberrant (ex p Cunningham) OR reasoning is in the public interest

                                    1. Bradbury: NO COMPLIANCE whatsoever (no notice put up in school at all)
                                    2. Procedure = Directory Requirement - court decides whether to quash the decision
                                      1. Coney v Choyce: compliance + incorrect compliance
                                        1. Soneji: court should consider what Parliament would have intended non-compliance w/ the statutory procedure to invalidate the decision
