Law Commission reviews administrative redress in public and private law
Summary
'Administrative Redress: Public Bodies and the Citizen' (HC 6) reports on how individuals’ issues can be resolved with regards to public bodies through intermediary involvement.
This publication discusses individuals' access to remedies through the courts, as well as through avenues outside the court system, such as the public sector ombudsmen.
The Commission concludes that:
- After analysing court-based remedies, there are good arguments for reform.
- Due to 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.
- Government should establish a process for collecting and publishing information on the cost of public compensation.
