A quasi-judicial power is one imposed upon an officer or a board involving the exercise of discretion, judicial in its nature, in connection with and as incidental to the administration of matters assigned or intrusted to such officer or board. A good definition of a purely judicial act is found in 4 Words and Phrases, p. 3848: ‘A judicial act is an act done by a member of the judicial department of government in construing the law or applying it to a particular state of facts presented for the determi nation of the rights of the parties thereunder.’ ””
