Abstract
In the title of this paper the better-known Swedish term Ombudsman is used in preference to the Danish term Ombudsmand. Professor Stephan Hurwitz is the Danish Ombudsmand (Parliamentary Commissioner for Civil and Military Government Administration). The paper was prepared by Professor Hurwitz at the request of the United Nations Secretariat for consideration at a Seminar convened by the United Nations on the subject of Judicial and other Remedies against the Illegal Exercise or Abuse of Administrative Authority. The Seminar was held at Kandy, Ceylon, on 4-15 May 1959. The New Zealand representatives at the Seminar were the Hon. H. G. R. Mason, the Attorney-General, and Dr J. L. Robson, then Deputy Secretary for Justice and now Secretary for Justice. Political Science’s copy of the paper was kindly provided by Dr Robson. The paper is published by permission of Professor Hurwitz. The paper was originally entitled “The Experience of Parliamentary Commissioners in Certain Scandinavian Countries”.
