Quasi Court

A "Quasi Court," also known as a quasi-judicial body, is an entity such as an office or board that has powers and procedures resembling those of a court of law or judge. They are established to interpret law and adjudicate disputes but they do not operate as part of the judicial branch of government. They have the authority to adjudicate on matters at the first instance or hear appeals, depending on their mandate. Examples include regulatory or disciplinary boards, tribunal boards, or some types of commissions.
