    The boundaries of administrative law extend only when administrative agencies and public officials exercise statutory or public powers, public  functions. The scope of Administrative Law is with respect to public law functions and not private law functions. The rules and principles of administrative law are applicable in a relationship between citizens and the state; they do not extend to cases where the nature of the relationship is characterized by a private law function.
