What is Public Law
Public authorities, namely the local authorities or government departments exercise certain powers to serve the public as authorized by the state. The body of the law that governs such exercise of powers by public authorities is known as the Public law. Public law is different from private law, which governs relationships among individuals. If a resolution made by a public body acting in its capacity is unlawful, or if the decision-making procedure is discriminating, it can be challenged by using an accepted grievances/complaints process, or by judicial review.
