Download or read book Public Services Ombudsman written by Great Britain: Law Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010-09-02 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents proposals by the Law Commission for reforms to make it easier to complain if you suffer poor public services. The public services ombudsmen have wide-ranging powers to investigate complaints against health service providers, housing associations and a host of Government departments and agencies. Complaints are dealt with for free and can result in financial compensation and an apology. But the procedures for making a complaint are often outdated and inconsistent. For example, complaints must usually be submitted in writing and in some cases can be made only through an MP. The proposed reforms will help to keep cases out of court: under current rules the ombudsman should not deal with a complaint after court proceedings have begun, even if the complainant was badly advised to go to court. In future, the Law Commission would like courts to transfer appropriate cases to the ombudsman. The consultation focuses on five statutory ombudsmen: the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration, Public Services Ombudsman for Wales, and the Local Government, Health Service and Housing Ombudsmen

Download or read book Public services ombudsmen written by Great Britain: Law Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-07-13 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The public services ombudsmen provide a vital redress mechanism for aggrieved citizens; they are free for complainants, confidential and swift. This report deals with the five public services ombudsmen operating in England and Wales: (1) The Parliamentary Commissioner; (2) The Local Government Ombudsman; (3) The Health Service Ombudsman; (4) The Public Services Ombudsman for Wales; and (5) The Housing Ombudsman. The overarching aim is to recommend modernisation of the statutes for these ombudsmen: clarifying them where required; reforming them where the Commission thinks this would facilitate the work of the ombudsmen; increasing transparency and accountability where necessary. The Commission could not consider fundamental institutional design, and did not look at the creation of new ombudsmen or the amalgamation of the existing ombudsmen. The subject matter of the ombudsmen's work or the definition of "maladministration" was also not considered. The report is divided in to 5 parts including the recommendation to commission a general review of the role of the public services ombudsmen and their relationship with other institutions for administrative justice, such as judicial review or tribunals; access to the ombudsmen; the ombudsmen process; resolution, report & sharing experience; and independence & accountability

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report the Law Commission sets out conclusions from its review of administrative redress in public and private law following consultation (Law Commission consultation paper 187, 2008, ISBN 9780118404532). The aim of the Commission's review was to consider when and how individuals should be able to obtain redress against public bodies that have acted in a substandard way. The report discusses individuals' access to remedies through the courts, as well as through avenues outside the court system, such as the public sector ombudsmen. In examining court-based remedies, the Commission concludes that there are good arguments for reform but, given the level of opposition to its earlier proposals and the absence of available data on the costs of compensation paid by public bodies, work will not be taken forward on reviewing this area of the law. The report does, however, recommend that government should establish a process for collecting and publishing information on the cost of public compensation. The Commission is taking forward its review of the public sector ombudsmen, following a favourable response to its proposals. The scope of the review will be extended and include suggestions for improving citizens' access to the public sector ombudsmen, and increasing the powers of ombudsmen to refer points of law to the courts. The Commission will consult on its proposals for reform of public sector ombudsmen later in 2010 and expects to make final recommendations to government the following year.
Download or read book Administrative Justice in Context written by Michael Adler and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-04-30 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprises a definitive collection of papers on administrative justice, written by a set of very distinguished contributors. It is divided into five parts, each of which contains articles on a particular aspect of administrative justice. The first part deals with the impact of 'contextual changes' on administrative justice and considers the implications of changes in governance and public administration, management and service delivery, information technology, audit and accounting, and human rights for administrative justice. The second part deals with conceptual issues and describes a number of competing approaches to the administrative justice. The third part deals with the application of administrative justice principles to private law disputes while the fourth part deals with the distinctive characteristics of administrative justice in three other jurisdictions. The final part deals with current developments in administrative justice and the book concludes with a discussion of legislative and policy developments in the UK. The general approach of the book is socio-legal and interdisciplinary. The chapters adopt a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including those derived from political science, public policy, social policy, accounting and information technology as well as from law. Although most of the contributors are academics, some are practitioners. For these reasons, the book should be of interest to lawyers, particularly those with interests in administrative law, and to social scientists, particularly those with interests in public administration, public policy and public management.

Download or read book The Ombudsman Enterprise and Administrative Justice written by Trevor Buck and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The statutory duty of public service ombudsmen (PSO) is to investigate claims of injustice caused by maladministration in the provision of public services. This book examines the modern role of the ombudsman within the overall emerging system of administrative justice and makes recommendations as to how PSO should optimize their potential within the wider administrative justice context. Recent developments are discussed and long standing questions that have yet to be adequately resolved in the ombudsman community are re-evaluated given broader changes in the administrative justice sector. The work balances theory and empirical research conducted in a number of common law countries. Although there has been much debate within the ombudsman community in recent years aimed at developing and improving the practice of ombudsmanry, this work represents a significant advance on current academic understanding of the discipline.
