Time for a "Leggatt-style" review of the Ombudsman system?
Date
2011-01Abstract
The article argues that the “system” of ombudsmen that operates in the United Kingdom, together with
the rapid evolution of internal complaints systems, has developed into a fundamental
feature of the twenty-first century administrative justice system. Yet this system is in need of a fundatmental review akin to the Leggatt review of tribunals conducted in 2001. Further, the Law
Commission’s current work in this area is a welcome development, but
a wider review of the institution is required.
