I welcome Ms Maney and Mr. O'Keeffe. I welcome Ms Maney to her role, which is new enough, and commend her on the work she has undertaken in a short period. She took over at a very difficult time and from reading her report and the other information given to us, particularly around case management conferences and hearings that were re-established during the height of the pandemic, it was very important that they were re-established as quickly as possible.

I have a number of broad-ranging questions but am limited by time so I would appreciate if the replies could be brief. The witness would be familiar with the alternative dispute resolution system in the UK. The commission runs case management conferences so how similar are they? How frequently are they used? In what kinds of cases are they used? They cannot be used with all appeals but Ms Maney might outline the circumstances in which they are done versus in a hearing, for example.
