That the petitioner was entitled to a fair hearing is beyond question but issues of actual or apparent bias and of natural justice must always be examined in
 the light of the particular facts and circumstances.  The fact that the Commissioner had presided in cases in which the petitioner had appeared at the material times was as well known to the petitioner as to the Commissioner. The petitioner is himself an
 experienced practitioner and in addition he was represented by counsel. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid13312437\charrsid2762873 Both must have been fully}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid4015763\charrsid2762873

 by which I mean, had the petitioner contended that the facts put forward by the Commissioner were in dispute \endash 
 it would have been incumbent on the Commissioner to recuse himself whether or not an application to that end was made. But it was never suggested that these facts were in dispute, so his failure to recuse himself of his own motion cannot be criticised.}{

\f0\fs24\insrsid5787194\charrsid2762873 
 to avoid the need for counsel to appear on another occasion. Understandably, counsel was reluctant to advance mitigation at that stage and said so. This may be because he had not anticipated mitigation before determination of the charge or, more li
kely, because, if there was to be an adverse finding, he would wish to study the reasons and the comments and analysis of the Commissioner in order }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid13569741\charrsid2762873 
to prepare submissions in mitigation made in the light of those findings, comments and analysis. Accordingly, counsel asked that mitigation be postponed to await the outcome of the Commissioner\rquote 
s deliberations, to be advanced only, of course, if there was an adverse finding. That was a perfectly proper approach for counsel to adopt. It seems clear to me that the
 course thus suggested was acceptable to the Commissioner and that that is how matters were left at the end of the hearing.  This is the exchange between the Commissioner and }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid1922963\charrsid2762873
