Answer 1

Answer:

Which of the following is a non-application of mind so far as the exercise of discretion is concerned

Answer 2

The answer is AUTHORITY:

Explanation:

• The authority is regarded to have not exercised its discretion at all, or to have failed to exercise discretion–"non-application of mind"

• In layman's terms, discretion involves choosing from the different available options without regard to any predefined criterion, regardless of how whimsical that choice may be.

• A person making a will has complete control over how his property is distributed, no matter how arbitrary or whimsical.
• When the term 'discretion' is qualified by the word 'administrative,' however, it has a slightly different connotation. In this context,
• 'discretion' means choosing among the different available options while adhering to the standards of reason and justice rather than personal preferences.
• This exercise must be legal and consistent, not arbitrary, vague, or fantastical.
