A quasi-judicial body is an individual or organisation which has powers resembling those of a court of law or judge and is able to remedy a situation or impose legal penalties on a person or organisation.
Powers
Such bodies usually have powers of adjudication in such matters as:
- breach of discipline
- conduct rules
- trust in the matters of money or otherwise.
Their powers are usually limited to a particular area of expertise, such as financial markets, employment law, public standards, immigration, or regulation.
Award and verdict
Awards and verdicts often depend on a pre-determined set of guidelines or punishment depending on the nature and gravity of the offence committed. Such punishment may be legally enforceable under the law of a country, it can be challenged in a court of law which is the final decisive authority.
