Question 1 a
An administrative-law relationship exists between two parties in an unequal relationship.

also what cannot be done by the Public Protector in relation to the ABSA case. Even
SARB and ABSA argued that the Public Protector’s reported was biased and although it
complied with the elements of administrative action it however wasn’t constitutional as
