31 Reports on investigations: further provisions. 1

This section applies where a Local Commissioner reports that injustice has been caused to a person aggrieved in consequence of maladministration.

2

The report shall be laid before the authority concerned and it shall be the duty of that authority to consider the report and, within the period of three months beginning with the date on which they received the report, or such longer period as the Local Commissioner may agree in writing, to notify the Local Commissioner of the action which the authority have taken or propose to take.

2A

If the Local Commissioner—

a

does not receive the notification required by subsection (2) above within the period allowed by or under that subsection, or

b

is not satisfied with the action which the authority concerned have taken or propose to take, or

c

does not within a period of three months beginning with the end of the period so allowed, or such longer period as the Local Commissioner may agree in writing, receive confirmation from the authority concerned that they have taken action, as proposed, to the satisfaction of the Local Commissioner,

he shall make a further report setting out those facts and making recommendations.

2B

Those recommendations are such recommendations as the Local Commissioner thinks fit to make with respect to action which, in his opinion, the authority concerned should take to remedy the injustice to the person aggrieved and to prevent similar injustice being caused in the future.

2C

Section 30 above, with any necessary modifications, and subsection (2) above shall apply to a report under subsection (2A) above as they apply to a report under that section.

2D

If the Local Commissioner—

a

does not receive the notification required by subsection (2) above as applied by subsection (2C) above within the period allowed by or under that subsection or is satisfied before the period allowed by that subsection has expired that the authority concerned have decided to take no action, or

b

is not satisfied with the action which the authority concerned have taken or propose to take, or

c

does not within a period of three months beginning with the end of the period allowed by or under subsection (2) above as applied by subsection (2C) above, or such longer period as the Local Commissioner may agree in writing, receive confirmation from the authority concerned that they have taken action, as proposed, to the satisfaction of the Local Commissioner,

he may, by notice to the authority, require them to arrange for a statement to be published in accordance with subsections (2E) and (2F) below.

2E

The statement referred to in subsection (2D) above is a statement, in such form as the authority concerned and the Local Commissioner may agree, consisting of—

a

details of any action recommended by the Local Commissioner in his further report which the authority have not taken;

b

such supporting material as the Local Commissioner may require; and

c

if the authority so require, a statement of the reasons for their having taken no action on, or not the action recommended in, the report.

2F

The requirements for the publication of the statement are that—

a

publication shall be in any two editions within a fortnight of a newspaper circulating in the area of the authority agreed with the Local Commissioner or, in default of agreement, nominated by him; and

b

publication in the first such edition shall be arranged for the earliest practicable date.

2G

If the authority concerned—

a

fail to arrange for the publication of the statement in accordance with subsections (2E) and (2F) above, or

b

are unable, within the period of one month beginning with the date on which they received the notice under subsection (2D) above, or such longer period as the Local Commissioner may agree in writing, to agree with the Local Commissioner the form of the statement to be published,

the Local Commissioner shall arrange for such a statement as is mentioned in subsection (2E) above to be published in any two editions within a fortnight of a newspaper circulating within the authority’s area.

2H

The authority concerned shall reimburse the Commission on demand any reasonable expenses incurred by the Local Commissioner in performing his duty under subsection (2G) above.

3

In any case where—

a

a report is laid before an authority under subsection (2) or (2C) above, and

b

on consideration of the report, it appears to the authority that a payment should be made to, or some other benefit should be provided for, a person who has suffered injustice in consequence of maladministration to which the report relates,

the authority may incur such expenditure as appears to them to be appropriate in making such a payment or providing such a benefit.
