A statute empowers a Board to frame regulations, decide disputes between parties, and enforce compliance through inspections. A student says this shows administrative bodies exercise functions beyond the traditional executive role. Which classification of the functions correctly matches the three activities in order?
Framing regulations is a legislative function, deciding disputes between parties is quasi-judicial, and carrying out inspections and enforcement is administrative. This reflects the wide scope of administrative law, which covers the varied functions modern administrative authorities perform beyond the traditional executive role.
