Administrative Tribunals - Nature, Powers and Jurisdiction clarified by Supreme Court

POINT

Administrative Tribunals constituted under the Administrative Tribunals Act, will function as the only court of first instance in respect of the areas of law for which they have been constituted.

Even where any challenge is made to the vires of legislation, excepting the legislation under which tribunal has been set up, in such cases also, litigants will not be able to directly approach the High Court 'overlooking the jurisdiction of the tribunal'
