What powers does the
Ombudsman have? The Ombudsman may make recommendations to the Lord Chancellor and the Northern Ireland Judicial Appointments Commission about what steps should be taken in relation to a complaint which has been upheld. The Ombudsman may also offer advice on changes to procedures that have come to his attention as a result of a complaint. He also has the power to recommend compensation be paid to successful complainants for loss suffered as a result of maladministration, but not in respect of any earnings that the complainant would have received had his /her application for appointment been successful.Appeal
