View answerSince the issuing of the first claim in March 2021, a total of twenty-six (26) cases have been processed by the Tribunal of which two (2) were consolidated after they had issued. Nine (9) claims issued in 2021, all of which have concluded. Of the seventeen (17) claims that issued in 2022, thirteen (13) have concluded. There are now currently four (4) claims in process before the Tribunal.
Subject to the parties' compliance with the procedural time limits as directed by the Tribunal in accordance with its Rules of Procedure, it is anticipated that the remaining claims will have concluded in or about the third quarter of 2023.
With regard to the costings of the Tribunal, I understand from my officials that this information was provided previously to the Deputy directly.
