Mr. Justice Alan Mahon:

No. The Act specifically excludes me dealing with complaints relating to pay and conditions in the sense of the adequacy of pay or an increase in pay. I can and do deal with and I do get a certain number of cases where an individual would complain that an allowance, which he or she thinks he or she is entitled to, is not being paid. I am entitled to investigate that and make a recommendation that he or she be paid the allowance. I can only deal with pay in terms of the established categories of pay. I cannot interfere in the sense of finding that the weekly wage of a corporal is not sufficient, or things of that nature.
