Courts can overturn decisions made by administrative agencies like the FCC if they find that the agency's decision was arbitrary or capricious, lacked substantial evidence, or exceeded its statutory authority.

Administrative law expanded greatly during the twentieth century, as legislative bodies worldwide created more government agencies to regulate the increasingly complex social, economic and political spheres of human interaction.Civil law countries often have specialized courts, administrative courts, that review these decisions. The plurality of administrative decisions contested in administrative courts are related to taxation.
