* A “complaint about process” is a complaint about the Court’s or Tribunal’s procedures, rules, forms, timeliness or courtesy to users. This figure does not include appeals from a decision by a Judge, the Court or a Tribunal. Appeals are lodged where there is doubt about the law and should not be considered to be complaints. The number of complaints is the result of an informal collection process. A more comprehensive collection process is being developed.
** While no formal feedback mechanism was in place for the reporting year, all feedback received by the Court was complimentary.
*** This figure is the result of an informal collection process. In the absence of a reliable and comprehensive information system, the figure is likely to be an understatement and should be treated as a minimum figure.
