Public Authority Responsibility in Digital Governance
Digital delivery can involve departments, agencies, vendors, cloud systems, dashboards and grievance portals. The constitutional question remains direct: which public authority is answerable when the citizen is denied recognition, service, correction or remedy?
What the official file can hide
A file may show a scheme, certificate, portal or disposal status. Article 12 analysis asks whether the public authority remains visible behind that document and whether the citizen can obtain an outcome rather than only an acknowledgement.
Responsibility test
- Who owns the public function?
- Who controls the record or system?
- Who can correct the error?
- Who must preserve the evidence?
