A quick definition of opportunity to be heard:

Opportunity to be heard: This means that if someone is going to take away your rights or something important from you, you have the chance to go to a court or other place where you can talk and show evidence before they do it. This is very important because it makes sure that everyone is treated fairly. You have the right to know when the hearing will be, to have a lawyer help you, and to ask questions to people who don't agree with you. This is called procedural due process.

A more thorough explanation:

The opportunity to be heard refers to the chance given to an individual to present their evidence and arguments in a court or tribunal before being deprived of a right by the government. This is a fundamental requirement of procedural due process.

For example, if a person is facing eviction from their home, they have the right to appear in court and present their case before being forced to leave their home. This includes the right to receive fair notice of the hearing, to have the assistance of a lawyer, and to cross-examine any witnesses against them.

Another example is in a criminal trial, where the defendant has the opportunity to present their defense and evidence before being convicted and sentenced.

The opportunity to be heard is essential to ensure that individuals are not unfairly deprived of their rights by the government. It allows for a fair and just process where all parties have a chance to present their case and be heard.
