1. Some of the issues before me might be seen as complaints of maladministration while others can be seen as disputes of fact or law and indeed, some may be both. I have jurisdiction over either type of issue and it is not usually necessary to distinguish between them. This determination should therefore be taken to be the resolution of any disputes of facts or law and/or (where appropriate) a finding as to whether there had been maladministration and if so whether injustice has been caused.
