Can a decision made by a government authority be challenged in court?

Writ & Administrative Law

Yes. An administrative decision can be challenged where the authority acted without jurisdiction, violated law, denied procedural fairness, abused power or infringed a constitutional or legal right.

The correct remedy depends on the statute governing the decision and whether an ordinary appeal or review mechanism exists.
