How later courts described this case

  • stating that the essential elements of procedural due process are notice and an opportunity to be heard
  • “due process ‘requires at a minimum that the deprivation of life, liberty or property by adjudication must be preceded by notice and opportunity for hearing appropriate to the nature of the case.’ . . . we note that procedural due process requires more than notice and hearing, but protects as well the right to an orderly proceeding adapted to the nature of the case.”
  • “Again we note that procedural due process requires more than notice and hearing, but protects as well the right to an orderly proceeding adapted to the nature of the case. The opportunity to be heard means little unless it occurs in an orderly, regular proceeding appropriate to the nature of the case.”
  • procedural due process requires more than notice and hearing; it also protects the right to an orderly hearing adapted to the nature of the case

dissenting.

I dissent and would affirm on the basis of the Commonwealth Court’s well reasoned opinion and order.
