ANNUAL REPORT 2010
Pursuant to section 7(2) of the Ombudsman Act, the courts are outside the
Ombudsman’s jurisdiction. Therefore, complaints concerning e.g. courts have
to be rejected, and in this case the rejection is final.
As mentioned in last year’s report, the structure of the statistical overview has
been changed as from this year. The intention is to gather the various figures
and information under clear themes: How many cases did the office open? How
many cases did the Ombudsman conclude? How long did it take to process the
cases? These themes have been dealt with separately in the Director General’s
article on pp. 15-20.
Appendix C considers the issues: What did the Ombudsman do in the cases
concluded in 2010? What did the cases concern? Which authorities were
affected? We hope this structure will make the statistical overview clearer, but
the figures and underlying facts outlined are largely the same as in previous
reports by the office. In other words, the focus or substance of the overview
has not changed – it basically conveys the same information. However, there
have been a few adjustments compared with previous reports. For instance, the
former Tables 2 and 4 and Figure 7 are no longer included. This also applies
to the former sections about each minister area (see e.g. the Annual Report of
the Parliamentary Ombudsman, 2009, pp. 68-75).
