Section 102 Report and recommendations
United Kingdom
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 F1, 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 F2, or selected for membership of a pool, to which the complaint related.
