Which remedy is an order to quash or prohibit acts, beyond judicial review?

• A. Declarations
• B. Injunction
• C. Orders quashing or prohibiting acts
• D. Damages

Answer: (C)

In judicial review, some remedies are designed to directly stop or undo unlawful action by a public body. An order that quashes or prohibits acts is the remedy that does exactly that: it halts the challenged conduct or annuls the decision so that it has no legal effect. This type of remedy acts as a safeguard by ensuring the public authority cannot proceed with an illegitimate act.

This is different from declarations, which merely state what the law is or what rights exist without altering the outcome of the case. It also differs from damages, which compensate for loss rather than stopping the wrongful action. And while injunctions can prevent future conduct, the specific remedy that explicitly quashes or prohibits is the prerogative order designed to nullify the act itself.
