The administrative judiciary plays a crucial role in ensuring the rule of law and protecting citizens' rights in modern legal systems. By examining the similarities and differences between these two countries, this study seeks to shed light on the factors that have influenced the development and implementation of administrative judiciary systems.

The study explores the historical background and legal traditions of both Qatar and Britain to understand the contextual factors that have shaped their administrative judiciary systems.

 

Result: The findings of this study reveal to: both countries have legal frameworks and court structures in place to regulate administrative matters. Second, they differ in their legal foundations, with Qatar following a civil law system and the United Kingdom adhering to common law principles. Third, the scope of judicial review varies, with Qatar focusing on legality and procedural fairness, while the United Kingdom has a broader scope that includes the merits and reasonableness of administrative decisions.Furthermore, the study identifies key factors that have influenced the emergence of administrative judiciary systems in these countries. The study also highlights the impact of international legal norms and practices on the development of administrative judiciary systems.
