I can advise the Deputy that the information requested in terms of the number of legal cases pending against my Department is set out in the table below.
Year of Commencement | No. of Cases |
1996 | 1 |
2009 | 3 |
2011 | 4 |
2012 | 5 |
I would point out in addition that the State Claims Agency which, pursuant to Section 9 of the National Treasury Management Agency (Amendment) Act, provides a claims management function for State authorities, including Government Departments, is managing a number of claims against my Department. It has not been possible, in the timeframe, to obtain from the Agency the number of cases that are pending against my Department.
