Accountability 4: The RICS "Monitor" Ombudsman Services:Property's Decisions For Effectiveness. (523)

To the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Secretary:
For Clarity - Attempt 523.

523) Accountability 4: The RICS Monitor Ombudsman Services:Property's Decisions For, "Effectiveness."

So, sadly, no independence there OS:Property.

Dear Mr Clark,

The EU Directive 2013/11/EU (21st May 2013) insists that;
"32: The independence and integrity of ADR entities is crucial in order to gain Union citizens trust that ADR mechanisms will offer them a fair and independent outcome."

Although, apparently, unable to adequately regulate their Members and Regulated Firms in the first place - why? - the RICS have put in place a Memorandum of Understanding with its, "appointed" company and monitor it closely for its "effectiveness" in resolving citizens' disputes with its inadequately regulated Members and regulated Firms. It also has )or had) its placement sitting on the Board of the company.

Q. Mr Clark, how can our citizens trust a mechanism that has been rigged by the RICS from its top to its bottom?
Q. Mr Clark, where is the independence that the EU Directive insists upon when Ombudsman Services:Property clearly sits in RICS' pocket?
Q. Mr Clark, how can citizens trust The Rev Smith and Professor Dame Janet Finch when they preside over a company that maladministers our citizens' complaints?
Q. Mr Clark, how can citizens trust The Rev Smith and Professor Dame Janet Finch when they also preside over a company which hands our citizens illogical Final Decisions?
Q. Mr Clark, where is the integrity that the EU Directive insists upon when OS:Property maladminister our citizens' complaints and hand them illogical Final Decisions?

The Ombudsmans61percent Campaign is seeking:
- answers from Vince Cable, Norman Lamb, Mark Prisk, Francis Maude, Michael Fallon, Jonathan May, Monk and Partners, Gillian Fleming, The Rev Smith, Oliver Colvile, Dame Janet Finch, Dame Julie Mellor, Nick Clegg, Jo Swinson, Sajid Javid and yourself.
- a public inquiry into the workings of Ombudsman Services:Property (a company which formerly traded as the SOS before undergoing rebranding) and the role of the RICS.
- compensation for the victims of its ombudsman's illogical Final Dcisions and its executives' maladministration.
- the setting up of a truly, "fair" and "independent" redress scheme free from RICS malign influence.
