Courts and Ombudsman reports
Ombudsman reports are taken seriously. An Ombudsman determines whether a complaint is justified or not.

Lawyers compared to Ombudsmen
I will not go into too much detail regarding the role and nature of an Ombudsman and investigations carried out by him. The role of Ombudsman is known in many jurisdictions and they can, just like lawyers, be found in all types and sizes. Some are described as “Tarzan in the administration jungle”. I will merely attempt to only highlight a few of the differences between an Ombudsman and a lawyer.
