Increased Judicial Review of Government Agency Decisions

This act aims to increase the role of courts in evaluating decisions made by government agencies. It means courts will have more freedom to interpret laws, which could affect how agencies regulate various aspects of life, from the environment to finance. For citizens, this could mean greater predictability and potentially easier challenging of unfavorable official decisions.
Key points
Courts will be able to independently assess and interpret legal provisions and rules created by government agencies, without relying on the agencies' own interpretations.
The act applies to all judicial review actions of agency actions, unless a specific law explicitly states otherwise, increasing the scope of judicial oversight.
