Mr. Tim Duggan:

As I said in my opening statement, the numbers are not big. We have dealt with 60 cases specifically related to individuals' employment status this year. Of those 60 cases, 40 were determined to be employees and 20 to be self-employed, so there was a 2:1 split. As the chief appeals officer has said, 26 of these cases have gone to appeal. One of the features of this area of law is that decisions are often appealed, which is not the case in most other scheme areas of the Department.
