Report and recommendations

1 The Ombudsman must prepare a report on any complaint he has investigated under section 9D. 2 The report must state— a what findings the Ombudsman has made; b whether he considers the complaint should be upheld in whole or part; c if he does, what if any action he recommends should be taken by the Commission or the Lord Chancellor as a result of the complaint. 3 The recommendations that may be made under subsection (2)(c) include recommendations for the payment of compensation. 4 Such a recommendation must relate to loss which appears to the Ombudsman to have been suffered by the complainant as a result of maladministration and not as a result of any failure to be appointed to an office to which the complaint related.
