The
distinctions between quasi-judicial and judicial function of administrative law
are given below with some points.
(i)
Trappings: A quasi-judicial authority has some of the trappings of a court, but
not all of them, yet there is an obligation to act judicially.
(ii)
Argument: Argument is an essential characteristic of a judicial function, but
this may not be true of a quasi-judicial function.
(iii)
Rules of evidence: The court is bound by rules of evidence and procedure while
quasi-judicial authority is not.
(iv)
Precedent: While a court is bound by precedents, a quasi-judicial authority is
not.
(v)
A court can not be a judge in its own cause, while an administrative authority
vested with quasi-judicial powers may be a party to the controversy but can
still decide it.
