👉 Prerogative in legal terminology refers to a discretionary power granted by an individual or government body. It is often used to describe actions that are not subject to judicial review and can be exercised at their discretion, such as the ability to grant specific benefits, appoint certain officials, or make decisions on matters of public interest without further legislative or administrative process. Prerogative powers can be exercised by a single individual or through delegated authority within a government body.
