Define Statutory, Administrative, and Judicial Authority

Solution

Answer:

Statutory authority is a body set up by law which is authorised to enact legislation on behalf of the relevant country or state. They are typically found in countries which are governed by a British style of parliamentary democracy such as the UK and British Commonwealth countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand and India. They are also found in Israel and elsewhere. In Britain, many such bodies are termed QUANGOs because of their semi-autonomous nature.

Administrative authorities are responsible for ensuring that a number of Ontario\'s consumer protection and public safety laws are applied and enforced. The government oversees administrative authorities and is responsible for making or changing the acts that are applied and enforced by the administrative authorities.

Judicial authority: The constitutional authority vested in courts and judges to hear and decide justiciable cases, and to interpret, and enforce or void, statutes when disputes arise over their scope or constitutionality.
