Difference between revisions of "Review of Administrative Decisions for Public Complaints (5:III)"

If you receive an unfavourable decision from an agency’s appeal process or object to the appeal process itself, you may have recourse to the courts.  Sometimes regulations give an individual a right to appeal directly to the courts.  If so, one should use this direct right to appeal rather than the general judicial review procedure.  However, even if an individual has no express statutory right to appeal to the courts, superior courts have inherent jurisdiction to review administrative action to ensure that administrative decision-makers do not exceed the authority granted to them by statute.
