Cases relating to such tribunals have been included under item E.2. of the Table. 3) Owing to a change in registration practice following the introduction of a new electronic case and document handling system in March 2012, it is no longer possible to provide breakdowns by region. 4) In 2012, the Ombudsman made no decisions in pursuance of section 7(4) of the Ombudsman Act that his jurisdiction was to extend to a company, an institution, an association etc. which was covered administratively by the Public Administration Act, the Act on Public Access to Documents on Public Files or the Public Authorities’ Registers Act. 5) C f. section 7(2) of the Ombudsman Act. 6) Bodies covered by section 7(3) of the Ombudsman Act. 91
