Download or read book The Ombudsman Enterprise and Administrative Justice written by Dr Richard Kirkham and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-02-28 with total page 454 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.

This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Individual chapters by authors with direct experience dealing with housing and property restitution in particular contexts will bring into focus the legal and human rights aspects of this question.

Download or read book Tax credits written by Great Britain: Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-10-09 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An earlier report from the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman on the Child and Working Tax Credits system (HC 124, session 2005-06, ISBN 0102933375) set out 12 recommendations to redress some of the problems it highlighted. This report looks at how far those recommendations have been implemented by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). HMRC has made a number of improvements to the administration of the tax credits system, with considerable improvements in the accessibility and reliability of the advice and information available to customers in respect of their tax credit claim. Many of the technical problems affecting significant numbers of cases have been resolved. The complaints handling system has been improved, in particular the backlogs in both disputed overpayments and complaints. Yet the number of complaints reported to the Ombudsman Office is high. There is still a problem with overpayments, with almost a third of all tax credit awards being overpaid, mostly to people on low or very modest incomes. Complaints about the tax system fall into three key groups: (i) the design of the tax system; (ii) a failure in complaints handling; (iii) the unfair and unreasonable application of COP 26 (the issue of overpayment). The Ombudsman concludes that, despite having put administrative systems in place enabling HMRC to look at individual circumstances and hardship issues, opportunities were missed to take mitigating action, often increasing unnecessary distress and hardship. Six further recommendations are set out, including: with a revised COP 26, HMRC should produce a clear and comprehensive guidance for Tax Credits Office staff, along with analysis of customer feedback where there are complaints of an unreasonable application of this code of practice; adopt a more coordinated approach with regard to overpayments to tax credit customers; that greater consideration should be taken of individual family circumstances when recovering the tax credit overpayments.
Download or read book Transparency in EU Institutional Law A Practitioner s Handbook written by Bart Driessen and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, which takes account of legal developments until June 2012, describes in detail the EU law affecting the transparency of the institutions as well as the actual practice of the European Commission, the Council and the European Parliament. The relevant practice of other institutions and bodies is also considered. Among the topics covered are: the scope and extent of public access to documents under Regulation 1049/2001; the impact on public access of Regulation 1367/2006 (the ‘Aarhus Regulation’); the procedure for applying for public access; rules on classified information; data protection and public access; the openness of decision-making, the relationship of Regulation 1049/2001 and other rules on access to documents; the law pertaining to the Official Journal; other aspects of transparency of EU decision-making, such as languages, quality of drafting and the involvement of lobbyists; remedies in Court and before the Ombudsman. Fulfilling the clear need for a practical guide to the nuts and bolts of the law and practice on transparency in the EU's institutional system, this book is written for the practitioner and indeed any party with an interest in availing of his or her rights under EU law. It is the only legal resource that serves this function and does so with élan and a matchless clarity.
Download or read book The Legal Status of Territories Subject to Administration by International Organisations written by Bernhard Knoll and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-06-12 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international community's practice of administering territories in post-conflict environments has raised important legal questions. Using Kosovo as a case study, Bernhard Knoll analyses the identity of the administrating UN organ, the ways in which the territories under consideration have acquired partial subjectivity in international law and the nature of legal obligations in the fiduciary exercise of transitional administration developed within the League of Nations' Mandate and the UN Trusteeship systems. Knoll discusses Kosovo's internal political and constitutional order and notes the absence of some of the characteristics normally found in liberal democracies, before proposing that the UN consolidates accountability guidelines related to the protection of human rights and the development of democratic standards should it engage in the transitional administration of territory.
