Part 4: Judicial appointments and discipline — Chapter 2: Appointments

The Ombudsman must prepare a report on any complaint he has investigated under section 101.

The report must state—

what findings the Ombudsman has made;
whether he considers the complaint should be upheld in whole or part;
if he does, what if any action he recommends should be taken by the Commission , the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice or the Senior President of Tribunals as a result of the complaint.

The recommendations that may be made under subsection (2)(c) include recommendations for the payment of compensation.

Such a recommendation must relate to loss which appears to the Ombudsman to have been suffered by the complainant as a result of maladministration and not as a result of any failure to be appointed to an office , or selected for membership of a pool, to which the complaint related.
