Ms Lorna Gallagher:

I think I may be able to assist if I may intervene. In many cases that are disposed of, they are disposed of without us necessarily knowing the outcome. For example, if a case is settled between the parties midway through a hearing or if a case is settled between the parties during the correspondence processes when we are building up a file to create a file that can then be transferred to a hearing, it usually does so on a confidential basis and we would not necessarily be apprised of the terms of settlement of such a case. We would not therefore be able to collate that type of information.
