In addition to "Audi alteram partem" suggested elsewhere, if you want the Latin to mirror the English more closely, I can suggest the following.
"Let the other side be heard" - "Altera pars audiatur"
If the meaning is more in the sense of obeying, Latin has a more difficult way of expressing it (let there be obedience to the other side)
"Let the other side be obeyed" - "Alteri parti obtemperet"

I think what you are looking for is the legal principle of audi alteram partem or hear the other side. it was a principle of Roman law that has shaped our adversarial legal system.
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_alteram_partem ) In case this is not what you wanted wikipedia (like most good dictionaries) has a "page" with common Latin phrases used in English
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Latin_phrases_(full) )
so you can find your phrase there.

It is "Audi alterem partem" and this actually mean hear both sides. This principle is the basis in any enquiry.
