Quote:The Administrative Court

The work of the Administrative Court is varied, consisting of the administrative law jurisdiction of England and Wales as well as a supervisory jurisdiction over inferior courts and tribunals.
The supervisory jurisdiction, exercised in the main through the procedure of Judicial Review, covers persons or bodies exercising a public law function - a wide and still growing field. Examples of the types of decision which may fall within the range of Judicial Review include:

•Decisions of local authorities in the exercise of their duties to provide various welfare benefits and special education for children in need of such education;
•Certain decisions of the immigration authorities and Immigration Appellate Authority;
•Decisions of regulatory bodies;
•Decisions relating to prisoner's rights . "
