Suppose that, in your country, the Water Supply Authority Act 2020 establishes a 'water supply authority'. This authority will be responsible for the efficient and economic supply of water throughout the country. Previously the Department of Public Works had this responsibility. The Act states that the Minister of Public Works may appoint and remove members of the authority, and may issue general directions of policy to the authority, but in all other respects, the authority is independent of government. The authority is authorized to raise its funds by imposing levies and charges for its services. The Act authorizes the authority to make contracts with government departments, local authorities and private persons for the supply of water, and to make bylaws regulating the use of its equipment and facilities. The legislation also authorizes the authority to make contracts for the employment of staff.

Which of the following actions would the High Court or the Supreme Court be ableto judicially review, and why?

a) The levies that the authority imposes for water supplied.2

b) The contracts for the supply of water that the authority makes.

c) The by-laws that the authority makes.

d) The contracts of employment that the authority makes with its staff
