A quick definition of quasi-judicial act:
A quasi-judicial act is when someone who is not a judge makes a decision that is like a judge's decision. It's like when a teacher decides if a student broke a rule and gives them a consequence. It's not exactly like a judge in court, but it's similar.A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A quasi-judicial act is a judicial act performed by an official who is not a judge or an act performed by a judge who is not acting entirely in a judicial capacity.
Example: A city council member presiding over a hearing to determine whether a business violated zoning laws is performing a quasi-judicial act. Another example is a judge who is also a member of a regulatory board making a decision on a case that falls under the board's jurisdiction.
Explanation: In both examples, the officials are performing acts that involve making decisions that have legal consequences, similar to a judge's role in a court case. However, they are not acting solely in a judicial capacity, as they are also fulfilling other roles as part of their official duties.
