A proposal, a decision and a different institution

A fictional community discussion considers how to improve a shared public space. Residents submit concerns, a consultation group summarizes options and the relevant institution makes the formal decision through its applicable process. Later, a separate individual dispute is referred to an appropriate adjudicative route. A student says the consultation meeting therefore possessed every legislative, administrative and judicial power. The teacher asks students to distinguish participation, advice, a formal decision and adjudication. The scenario does not reproduce an actual local procedure or specify which law applies, so students should identify functions from the information given without inventing a new institution or transferring powers merely because all activities concern public affairs.
