Judicial Analysis of the Powers and Functions of the Administrative Tribunals

Abstract

Administrative tribunals are adjudicating bodies established to relieve the traditional courts from the ever mounting pressure of litigation. This paper makes an analysis of the powers and functions of the administrative tribunals as laid down by the judiciary. A series of case laws are examined at length which debate the nature of the functions of the tribunals and also elucidate the importance of tribunals in dispensation of justice.
