Administrative decision judicial review is the authority vested to review laws, court decisions, policies, or executive powers relevant to subjudice matters. The judicial reviews have been imposed in many states in search of equity and fair judgments. Judicial review has been made part of Australia’s legal process although there are no clear provisions in the constitution. According to Mark Tunshets,( Jones, Ian.

The effect of judicial review on federal-state relations in Australia, Canada, and the United States. Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 1969. Print.).

Judicial review is mostly done by the high courts since it is at the top
