Administrative ____________ means the determination of questions of a judicial or quasi-judicial nature by an administrative department or agency. Like a regular court, administrative bodies hear the parties, sift evidence, and pronounce a decision in cases where legal rights or duties are involved.

The administrative courts follow the principles of natural justice and common good whereas the courts of law follow the settled principles of law and evidence.
