exhaustion of remedies

The doctrine that, if an administrative remedy is provided by statute, a claimant must seek relief first from the administrative body before judicial relief is available.

• The doctrine’s purpose is to maintain comity between the courts and administrative agencies and to ensure that courts will not be burdened by cases in which judicial relief is unnecessary.

— Also termed exhaustion of administrative remedies. [Cases: Administrative Law and Procedure 229. C.J.S. Public Administrative Law and Procedure §§ 38–42.]
