substitution-of-judgment doctrine

Read a random definition: ut hospites

A quick definition of substitution-of-judgment doctrine:

The substitution-of-judgment doctrine is a rule in administrative law that says when a court reviews a decision made by a government agency, the court can use its own judgment to interpret the laws and rules instead of just following what the agency says. This happens when the agency's interpretation is not helpful or when the rules don't require the agency's special knowledge.

A more thorough explanation:

The substitution-of-judgment doctrine is a standard used in administrative law to review an agency's decision. It means that a court will use its own independent judgment to interpret laws and administrative regulations instead of deferring to the agency's interpretation.

For example, if an agency makes a decision that is not clear or does not involve matters requiring the agency's expertise, a court may use the substitution-of-judgment doctrine to review the decision. This means that the court will interpret the laws and regulations itself, rather than relying on the agency's interpretation.

Another example could be a case where an agency's decision is challenged in court. The court may use the substitution-of-judgment doctrine to review the decision and determine if it was made in accordance with the law and regulations.
