项目摘要

The office of ombudsman has become increasingly popular over recent decades to the point where it is now a highly significant and permanent feature of the legal systems in many parts of the world. As a method to solve disputes outside of the courts, ombudsman systems deal with many cases per year in both public and private sectors. Although originally established in the public sector, as a link between citizens and government institutions, the ombudsman model has, in many countries, now been adopted by the private sector too. The ombudsman landscape throughout EU member states presents a variety of institutional and jurisdictional arrangements, operational styles and decision-making processes. Although this poses some challenges in being able to conceptualise a unified ombudsman institution, it offers distinct advantages for the study of the relationship between decision-making practices on the part of ombudsmen and perceptions of procedural justice and levels of trust on the part of users across different jurisdictions and cultures. Despite the significance of ombudsmen to our constitutional and civil justice landscapes, very little is known about users' perceptions of the fairness of their procedures and practices and the significance of these perceptions for levels of trust in particular ombudsman offices. This project will fill this gap, providing important data and knowledge which will be directly relevant to the development of national policies and EU level multiple networks of policy-making.

近几十年来，监察员办公室变得越来越受欢迎，现已成为世界许多地区法律体系的一个非常重要和永久的特征。作为一种在法院外解决纠纷的方法，监察员制度每年处理公共和私营部门的许多案件。尽管监察员模式最初是在公共部门建立的，作为公民和政府机构之间的纽带，但在许多国家，现在也被私营部门采用。整个欧盟成员国的监察员格局呈现出各种制度和司法安排、运作方式和决策过程。尽管这对建立一个统一的监察员机构提出了一些挑战，但它为研究监察员的决策实践与程序公正的看法以及不同国家的用户的信任程度之间的关系提供了明显的优势。不同的司法管辖区和文化。尽管监察员对我们的宪法和民事司法格局具有重要意义，但我们对用户对其程序和做法的公平性的看法以及这些看法对特定监察员办公室的信任程度的重要性知之甚少。该项目将填补这一空白，提供与国家政策和欧盟层面多重决策网络的制定直接相关的重要数据和知识。
