Practice question
A lower administrative office issues a recommendation expressly subject to mandatory approval by the designated superior body. That approval has not occurred. No recognized exception or immediate irreparable injury is shown. Is treating the recommendation as the completed administrative action sound?
- Yes, a recommendation always binds every superior body.
- No; the required approval remains part of the unfinished administrative process.
- Yes, because the party dislikes its reasoning.
- Yes, if the recommendation has many pages.
- No; because no administrative action can ever become final.
