Informal Adjudication

Informal adjudication is a process used by administrative agencies to resolve disputes without the formalities of a court trial. It allows agencies to make decisions on issues like licensing, benefits, or regulatory compliance. Typically, this process involves less rigid procedures, allowing parties to present their cases more flexibly, often through written submissions or informal hearings. The goal is to efficiently resolve issues while still ensuring fairness. The decisions made through informal adjudication can often be appealed or reviewed, providing a system of checks and balances.
