I assume, and maybe I am not correct in this, but that the majority of these cases - I know the Ombudsman's office was dealing with 1,174 cases at the end of October and there may have been some tracker cases before that, post-examination - would not have been able to be heard were it not for the change in the rules, allowing for the three years of knowledge. Is that correct?
