A Brief Note on the ACCARDI Doctrine
By Clayton A. Mitchell, Sr. / Associate Member, Board of Appeals / Maryland
An often overlooked doctrine of administrative law is important to insure that procedural due process is afforded to the parties in a case. This doctrine is the Accardi Doctrine. The Accardi Doctrine provides that an agency must abide by its own regulations. This doctrine is named after the Supreme Court decision from which the doctrine was developed, United States exrel. Accardi v. Shaughnessy, 347 U.S. 260, 267 (1954). The Accardi doctrine provides that when an agency fails to follow its own procedures or regulations, that agency's actions are invalid. Therefore, an agency's failure to afford an individual procedural safeguards required under its own regulations may result in the invalidation of the ultimate administrative determination.
