    The doctrine of primary administrative jurisdiction holds that courts cannot decide issues that fall under an administrative tribunal's jurisdiction without that tribunal first resolving the issue. This is because administrative bodies have special expertise in technical matters of fact involving their jurisdiction. Courts cannot take authority over cases where primary jurisdiction clearly belongs to an administrative body with relevant competence.

    What is the Doctrine of Primary Administrative Jurisdiction?

    Courts cannot or will not determine a controversy involving a question


    which is within the jurisdiction of the administrative tribunal prior to
    resolving the same, where the question demands the exercise of sound
    administrative discretion requiring special knowledge, experience and
    services in determining technical and intricate matters of fact. In cases
    where the doctrine of primary jurisdiction is clearly applicable, the court
    cannot arrogate unto itself the authority to resolve a controversy, the
    jurisdiction over which is initially lodged with an administrative body of
    special competence.
