Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

The answer to question:

(1) The Court does not record this data for all the categories requested.

For those areas of the Court where this data is captured (in this case Magistrates Court, Civil) considerable resources that would be involved in providing the detailed information required to answer the Members question. I am not prepared to authorise this.

(2) Please refer to the answer at Question (1).

(3) Taxation matters of this kind fall under Commonwealth not ACT legislation.

(4) (a) ACT Law Courts and Tribunal records details of civil damages awarded, but the case management system used by the Court is not currently programmed to provide a report at the level of detail required to answer the question. It would take considerable resources to produce a report of this nature. I am not prepared to authorise this.

(b) Fines imposed
