Administrative Law

Administrative law encompasses the legal framework governing administrative actions, encompassing the organization, authority, and responsibilities of administrative bodies. According to legal scholar Ivor Jennings, it pertains to the regulation of administration and is pivotal in shaping the activities of administrative authorities. This branch of law covers various aspects such as the rule-making prerogatives of administrative entities, their quasi-judicial functions, the legal accountabilities of public bodies, and the jurisdiction of regular courts in supervising administrative actions. The primary objective of administrative law is to ensure equitable treatment of the public by overseeing the executive branch.
