Article 35 of the Basic Law extends to statutory tribunals performing judicial functions such as the Medical Council inquiry; the Council erred in refusing an adjournment to enable the appellant to obtain legal representation in good faith and thereby infringed Article 35; the Council's decision was quashed and the matter remitted for a new inquiry with fresh charges and a differently constituted tribunal.
