| Popis: | Public authorities, bodies and institutions are established by statutory legislations and must therefore carryout their functions and operations in accordance with those prescribed statutory provisions. At any point those public authorities act outside those statutes, the general public should have unrestricted access to courts in order to checkmate those exegesis. The courts therefore have supervisory jurisdiction on public bodies and institutions under the realm of judicial review to determine the legality or otherwise of public institutions’ decisions affecting the general public or their properties. This article critically analyses the principles of judicial review in the United Kingdom and in Nigeria to see if there is anything the latter can learn form the former. |
