LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK/CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS REPORT

Administrative justice involves the control of discretionary powers of executive officials in rendering administrative decisions that affect the rights of citizens, and allowing individuals who believe they have been adversely affected by those decisions to seek effective forms of government
review. Administrative justice is accordingly deeply concerned with matters of procedure—not only the transparency, accountability and fairness that should attend the rendering of decisions by government officials, but also the review mechanisms – both internal to the bureaucracy and
external (by way of the courts or Ombudsman’s Office) – by which those decisions can be appealed.
