In response to the Deputy's question, I am not aware of any cases taken by Civil Servants, in which the Courts have made an order against my Department in relation to the payment of damages, compensation or legal costs arising from a Plaintiff contending that my Department had not honoured contractual rights and entitlements during the period in question.
