In 41.13% of cases, the problem was resolved: either for the person, or for the future, or in a partial manner (versus 48.70% in 2016). Finally, as regards the actions taken, the Chief Inspector sent recommendations to the authorities called upon in 21.97% of cases (versus 13.35% in 2016). Corrective measures resulting from the inquiry addressed by the CGLPL to the authorities concerned were taken in nearly 13.52% of cases (versus 15.71% in 2016). No special follow-up was given by the Contrôleur général in 38.31% of inquiry case-files (versus 42.14% in 2016), either because no violation of a fundamental right was proven, or because the person deprived of liberty was transferred or released and the fundamental right in question could not be dissociated from his or her individual situation, or due to a lack of information justifying the issue of recommendations or a call for vigilance. Out of the 355 case-files closed in 2017, the following results were obtained: Number of casefiles % 2017 % 2016 (Jan. – Nov.)
