Mr. Niall Byrne:

Yes. As I understand it, these are appeals on a point of law from a determination of a tribunal. The law is more complex than it was previously and people are more aware of and exercised about their rights, both landlords and tenants, so more people are coming forward to take appeals on a point of law. The fact that the law is complex means that it lends itself to appeals on a point of law and that is an issue.
