The commissioner will have to have his own complaints procedure. If someone remained dissatisfied with the way the commissioner had carried out his functions, that complaint could be taken to the Assembly for consideration. It is important that the commissioner should be required to develop a complaints procedure. The other way would be through judicial review, to which the commissioner could be subject if someone was dissatisfied with the way he had carried out his functions.
