It will have significant influence on policy and practice, and is a valuable contribution to the study of ombudsmen.' Mary Seneviratne, Nottingham Trent University, UK 'Scholarly and well-researched, offering an interesting blend of constitutional theory and well-chosen illustrative material, this is an important addition to the literature on administrative justice. It will surely be essential reading, not just for academics working in this field but also for established and developing ombudsman offices around the world.' Gavin Drewry, University of London, UK 'This important new book presents an overview of one of the key institutions of administrative justice: the ombudsman. It presents a well argued thesis based on a thorough review of the literature and some new empirical research concerning the changing role of, and future prospects for, ombudsmen. It makes excellent use of international comparisons with a particular emphasis on Commonwealth experience. It will be invaluable to academics and policy-makers working in the field whilst also being accessible to students.' Tom Mullen, University of Glasgow, UK Overall The Ombudsman Enterprise and Administrative Justice is avery constructive read. Its simple language will appeal to readers inside and outside the UK. Its concise form encourages the reader to explore individual points of interest further, guided by the insightful footnotes and bibliography.
