The complaints framework should be amended to eliminate concurrent jurisdiction and provide a more simplified and coherent process, further broaden stakeholders’ rights to lodge complaints, and revoke the automatic rejection of complaints on technical grounds. If complaints are filed to the wrong institution, that institution should be obliged to forward them to the correct institution. An option to lodge complaints electronically could be introduced, and a standardized complaint form developed. The legal requirement to redact names from court judgements should be revoked.
