Description: The term ‘quasi-judicial’ refers to actions or decisions that are similar to those made by a court, but are not carried out by a judicial body. These decisions are typically made by government agencies, regulatory bodies, or administrative entities that have the authority to resolve disputes, impose sanctions, or make decisions affecting the rights and obligations of individuals or entities. Quasi-judicial procedures often involve the gathering of evidence, conducting hearings, and issuing resolutions that can be appealed to a court. The quasi-judicial nature allows these entities to act more efficiently and specialize in areas where the traditional judicial system might be too slow or ineffective. This approach seeks to balance the need for justice with administrative efficiency, allowing informed and reasoned decisions to be made without the formality of a full trial. In summary, quasi-judicial occupies an intermediate space between public administration and the judicial system, providing a mechanism for conflict resolution that is both accessible and effective.
