When the Ombudsman, because of legal proceedings in progress or concluded concerning the facts which have been put forward, has to declare a complaint inadmissible or terminate consideration of it, the outcome of any enquiries he has carried out up to that point shall be filed definitively.
Nuair nach mór don Ombudsman, mar gheall ar imeachtaí dlíthúla atá ar siúl nó atá críochnaithe agus a bhaineann leis na fíorais atá curtha chun cinn, a dhearbhú nach bhfuil gearán inghlactha nó breithniú an ghearáin a fhoirceannadh, déanfar toradh aon fhiosrúcháin atá déanta go dtí sin a chomhdú go cinntitheach.
