In the context of judicial review, which of the following statements are true?

Statement I: The scope of judicial review is uniform and consistent for all types of administrative actions.

Statement II: The intensity of review is highest for quasi-judicial functions because courts scrutinize both the decision-making process and compliance with natural justice.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Both statements are false. Judicial review varies with the subject matter, the powers exercised and the rights affected. Quasi-judicial decisions must satisfy procedural fairness, but this does not establish a universal rule that they always receive the highest intensity of review; serious rights restrictions can require particularly close scrutiny in other administrative contexts.
