It appears costs have been claimed for six days of the week, 52 weeks of the year. The tribunal must clarify if that is correct or incorrect. If it is correct, it must give an explanation. If it fails to receive that explanation, there will be an onus on this House to institute whatever appropriate investigative procedures are necessary to establish what is happening in the calculation of costs. This potentially impacts on the credibility of tribunals and both Houses. I call for an urgent debate on the matter.
