A BRIEF STATEMENT ON JR
THE FUNCTION OF THE COURT IS TO SEE THAT LAWFUL AUTHORITY IS NOT ABUSED BY UNFAIR TREATMENT BY THOSE IN AUTHORITY.IN SIMPLE LANGUAGE, THE COURTS WILL ENSURE THAT PUBLIC BODIES ENTRUSTED WITH POWER MUST ACT WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF THAT POWER. IF IT EXCEEDS THE POWERS CONFERRED UPON IT, THAT IT WILL BE ULTRA VIRES AND THE MANNER OF THE DECISION MAKING IS LIABLE TO BE SCRUTINIZED BY THE COURTS.
