To decide whether an administrative act violates legal procedure, the people's courts shall take the provisions of procedure in law, administrative rules and regulations as the criteria. Then, analyze it in such aspects as step, order, way and prescription, decide whether it is just, legal and rational, whether it respects and protects legal rights of the private party. Administrative act violating legal procedure heavily shall be annulled or be judged as void or illegal. If the act infringes upon lawful rights and interests of the private party, the administrative agency shall be liable for compensation. If there is only procedural flaws exists in the administrative act, it continues to be effective after supplementation and correction.
