What was the total amount of (a) legal fees that was spent on defending legal actions against his department, (b) cost orders that were made against his department and (c) contingent liabilities against his department in the 2021-22 financial year in each case?
Reply:
a) Hereunder please find a list of argued matters in court and the amount spent on legal costs.
NB: Please note that where amounts are not stated it is because the Department is awaiting invoices of payments from the Department of Justice (State Attorney). The Department of Justice is responsible for payments on behalf of Client-Departments and the Departments in turn, reimburse the offices of the State Attorney.
