Schedule 3 Listed Authorities Section 30: Provisions in orders adding persons to Schedule 3
94.Section 30(1) provides that when adding a person to the list, the Assembly must, in the order, specify which of the person’s functions fall within the Ombudsman’s remit.
95.Section 30(2) and (3) provides that in the case of every person to be added to Schedule 3 by order, the Assembly must be satisfied that the function(s) of that person which are to fall within the Ombudsman’s remit are in a field in which the Assembly also has functions. Section 30(3) further provides that in the case of a person falling within section 29(5) the functions to be within the Ombudsman’s remit must also be functions of a public nature. Consequently, if a person only falls within section 29(5) and discharges functions some of which are functions of a public nature and some of which are not, the Assembly cannot specify all of that person’s functions as being functions within the remit of the Ombudsman.
