Mr. John Horan:

I do not know is the short answer to that question. From my experience, probably 60% of the decisions were in favour of the employee and 40% were in favour of the employer. When I sit on the tribunal I am not representing employers. We leave that aspect aside and we are just there to bring our experience to bear on matters. When I sit on the tribunal and look down at a person presenting his or her case and making a claim, I often think that if that person worked for me I would definitely sack him or her. Very often I have to find against the employer in those circumstances because the employer may not have followed proper procedures. That arises a good deal. I do not have the precise information the Deputy sought but I will try to get it and we will forward it to Deputy or to the committee whichever if preferable.
