tribunal

tribunal
   A quasi-judicial institution established to resolve conflict between public or private individuals or bodies. Tribunals are a means of avoiding the expensive and timeconsuming needs of the courts and of settling a large number of relatively small, straightforward, routine cases. Tribunals developed as a pattern of administrative justice in the twentieth century in response to the growth of state involvement in the social and economic life of the country. This created the possibility of the individual citizen coming into conflict with ministers and their departments, and local authorities, on questions of an administrative kind. Tribunals exist to arbitrate in such conflicts, whether it concerns the payment of benefits, disputes between a landlord and their tenant or the alleged malpractice of a doctor brought before the Disciplinary Committee of the General Medical Council.
