I have been advised that there have been 14 cases heard by the Tribunal involving 17 separate hearings. Of these cases, one case involved three hearings and another case involved two hearings. I am further advised that there are presently seven matters awaiting hearing, three matters awaiting informal mediation by the Registrar, three matters awaiting advice from the applicant on how they wish to proceed, and there are five matters awaiting a decision of the Supreme Court which will determine how they should proceed.
