bility on insufficient grounds. The Ombudsman therefore considered whether
to recommend because of this error that the Ministry reconsider the question
of the member’s eligibility. In the Ombudsman’s opinion, however, there was
no prospect that inclusion of the additional circumstances would result in a
different outcome of the case as far as the question of eligibility was concerned.
Consequently, the Ombudsman decided not to recommend that the Ministry
reconsider the question.

13-1. Case processing time of the Property Assessment
Appeal Board for Copenhagen
In 2010 a firm of accountants complained to the Ombudsman on behalf of a
utility company about the case processing time of the Property Assessment
Appeal Board for Copenhagen. The firm of accountants was dissatisfied because the Board still had not finished processing the cases regarding the public
land assessment as at 1 October 2006 for five properties owned by the utility
company. The Board received the appeals in March 2008 and stated during the
Ombudsman’s processing of the complaint to him that the five cases could be
expected to be concluded mid-2011. This meant that the Board’s case processing time would be more than three years.
The Ombudsman concluded processing the complaint from the firm of accoun
tants before the Board had finished processing the five cases. He stated that the
Board’s case processing time, including the Board’s estimated conclusion date
for the cases, was clearly unacceptable.
