Quasi-Judicial

Definition: Describing an administrative body's power to decide individual disputes or apply law to specific facts in a proceeding resembling a court's work.

Example

FREC considers a disciplinary matter and determines the appropriate agency action within its authority.

Keep the distinction clear

Deciding a case is quasi-judicial. Adopting rules of general application is quasi-legislative; the two powers should not be given the same definition.
