Finding redress against mistakes and wrongful actions of the government or local administrators is not so easy in many countries. Organizing access to justice for citizens and ensuring that their complaints are handles swiftly and diligently by the administration, by omsbudsmen and by administrative courts can be quite difficult. It is not at all self-evident that citizens have enough trust in the right outcome of complaint and court proceedings.

After all, administrative pre-trial proceedings should contribute to the realization of a predictable public administration under the rule of law.
