Understanding the Administrative and Legal Framework of the Department of Law Enforcement

Administrative body like the LDO Department of Law Enforcement deals with complaints outside of courts, offering legal guidance, amicable solutions, and handling appeals without direct court involvement. The Anti-Discrimination Tribunal, a key entity, has powers to issue binding administrative decisions and fines. Tribunals serve as an alternative to judicial courts, and their decisions can be appealed to a court of justice. The process involves written procedures, translators, and adherence to specific guidelines to ensure fair resolution.
