What is Administrative Law?

Administrative law is the body of law that governs the decisions and actions of government agencies and tribunals.

Administrative law is a more complex area of law, but it can be broadly defined as the law that governs the exercise of power by government agencies and tribunals. Administrative law is important because it ensures that government agencies and tribunals act fairly and within the scope of their authority.

Administrative law is particularly relevant to professional discipline because professional associations are often considered to be administrative tribunals. This means that they are subject to the same rules of fairness and procedural justice as other government agencies and tribunals. For example, professional associations must give their members adequate notice of any disciplinary proceedings, and they must allow members to be represented by counsel and to present evidence in their defense.

Here are some examples of issues that may be subject to administrative law:

Decisions made by government agencies and tribunals
Government regulations
Government procurement contracts
Environmental assessments
Immigration and refugee law

If you are a professional or a member of the public who is involved in an administrative law matter, it is important to seek legal advice from an experienced lawyer.
