This is the law that governs how government decisions are made and challenged. Any time a government body (like a visa office, the IRB, or the Minister) makes a decision that is contested, the legal challenge falls under Administrative Law. Judicial Review is the ultimate administrative law tool for challenging these decisions in a high court.
