120 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 2014-34. COMPLIANCE WITH ADMINISTRATIVE LAW UPON INTRODUCTION OF NEW PUBLIC IT SYSTEMS The Ombudsman opened an own initiative case involving the Ministry of Finance about securing that new public IT systems comply with the demands of administrative law to the processing of cases. The reason was that there had been a number of cases about problems that arise when public authorities introduce new IT systems which inadequately support the applicable legislation. It appeared from a statement which the Ombudsman received from the Agency for Digitisation – and in which the Ministry of Finance concurred – that the Agency for Digitisation and the Ministry of Justice agreed on the need for comprehensive guidance of the authorities to secure that new public IT systems comply with the demands of administrative law. The Agency for Digitisation also explained specifically how the Agency and the Ministry would complete the comprehensive guidance. On the basis of the available information, the Ombudsman decided to take no further action in the case, but he asked the Ministry of Finance to keep him informed about further developments in the case and also requested a copy of the material prepared as part of the comprehensive guidance. D. MINISTRY OF DEFENCE No statements on cases concluded in 2014 have been published. E. MINISTRY OF JUSTICE The following statements on cases concluded in 2014 have been published: 2014-20. NON-DISCLOSURE OF LAWYERS’ IDENTITY A journalist complained to the Ombudsman about the Ministry of Justice having denied access to the names of five lawyers who had recently been – but no longer were – employed according to section 784(2) of the Administration of Justice Act. The lawyers had previously belonged to the special group of lawyers who are appointed in those cases that involve infringement of secrecy of communications when the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) investigates crime against state security, terrorism, and so on.
