It is a type of court proceeding in which a judge reviews the lawfulness of a decision or action made by a public body. These are the challenge to the way in which a decision has been made, rather than the rights and wrongs of the conclusion reached. It is not concerned if the conclusion is right or wrong till the procedures have been followed. The court will not substitute what it thinks is the 'correct' decision.
It involves a review of the manner in which the decision has been made, not an appeal from the decision itself; it is concerned with the decision making process. It covers not only the legislative but also the executive or administrative acts.
