The Appeal Board ruled that municipalities are within legal bounds when investigating summer home owners suspected of year-round residence. ^[1] The Appeal Board (Ankestyrelsen) received 69,076 complaints last year, which is 18,609 more than in 2022. ^[2] A summer home may be inhabited from April 1 to September 30, while overnight stays in other parts of the year are limited to weekends and other shorter periods. ^[3] Ballerup Municipality was accused of going too far in its attempt to find evidence that a summer home was being used in violation of regulations. ^[4] The Parliamentary Ombudsman expects to receive 8,000 complaints this year, up from 7,131 last year and 5,072 in 2022. ^[5] The Patient Complaint Board (Styrelsen for Patientklager) received 11,826 complaints over health personnel and treatment last year, an increase of 2,612 compared to 2022. ^[6] Advocate Ditte Jensen, representing summer home owners in Ballerup, argued that the municipality's actions went too far because they involved systematic surveillance. ^[7] Aske Halling noted that while more people having the opportunity to exercise their right to complain is a positive story, it places pressure on authorities to handle the increased volume. ^[8]
