From the perspective of the accused respondent, this sort of consultation is likely to seem just as unfair as any other exparte communication by an adverse party .
从遭受指控的被告的角度讲,此类磋商看起来和敌对当事人的任何其他单方面接触一样的不公正。
Section557prohibits any "interested person outside the agency" from making or knowingly causing "any exparte communication relevant to the merits of the proceeding" to any decisionmaking official.
