QUASI-JUDICAL PROCEDURES  
QUASI-JUDICIAL PROCEDURES  
Quasi-Judicial procedures apply when a request involves the application of a policy to a  
specific application and site. It is a quasi-judicial decision. Quasi-judicial proceedings must  
be conducted with more formality than a legislative proceeding. In quasi-judicial  
proceedings, parties are entitled - as a matter of due process to cross-examine witnesses,  
present evidence, demand that the witnesses testify under oath, and demand a decision  
that is based on a correct application of the law and competent substantial evidence in the  
record.
