A quasi-judicial body is an individual or organization which has powers resembling those of a court of law or judge and is able to remedy a situation or impose legal penalties on a person or organization.

Such bodies usually have powers of adjudication in such matters as:

breach of discipline

conduct rules

trust in the matters of money or otherwise.

Their powers are usually limited to a particular area of expertise, such as financial markets, employment law, public standards, immigration, or regulation.
