QUESTION 1
1.1.
Administrative law is a branch of public law that governs the activities of governmental agencies
and public officials. It encompasses the rules, regulations, and procedures established by
administrative agencies and the actions they take in the exercise of their powers. This field of
law ensures that the decisions and actions of these bodies are lawful, reasonable, and
procedurally fair. Administrative law prescribes the processes to be followed when public powers
are exercised or public functions are performed, ensuring these actions are within legal
boundaries. Furthermore, it provides mechanisms for the control and oversight of administrative
actions, allowing for accountability and the protection of individual rights. This includes the ability
to review and challenge decisions made by public authorities, ensuring transparency and
adherence to the principles of natural justice. In essence, administrative law balances the need
for efficient government administration with the rights and interests of individuals.
