A quick definition of unfair hearing:

An unfair hearing is when someone doesn't get a fair chance to speak and defend themselves in front of a judge or decision-maker. A hearing is a meeting where people talk about a problem and try to find a solution. Sometimes, a hearing is held to decide if someone did something wrong or not. It's important that everyone gets to share their side of the story and that the hearing is fair for everyone involved.

A more thorough explanation:

An unfair hearing is a legal proceeding that does not follow the principles of due process. A hearing is a session where a judge or decision-maker listens to arguments and evidence from both sides before making a decision. An unfair hearing can happen in different types of legal proceedings, such as administrative law, criminal law, or family law.

In a criminal trial, the defendant has the right to a fair hearing. This means that the prosecution must prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, and the defendant has the right to present evidence and cross-examine witnesses. If the judge or jury is biased or does not follow the rules of evidence, the defendant may have an unfair hearing.

In an administrative hearing, a person may challenge a decision made by a government agency. If the hearing officer is not impartial or does not allow the person to present their case, the hearing may be unfair.

In a family law case, such as a custody hearing, both parents have the right to a fair hearing. This means that the judge must consider all relevant factors and make a decision in the best interest of the child. If the judge is biased or does not consider all the evidence, the hearing may be unfair.
