While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information provided in this table, the Court, Authority, and Information Centre accept no liability for any consequences that may arise from reliance on this data. This table has been compiled using only headnote summaries from which the necessary information as to length of hearing is readily identifiable.

Where costs are awarded to more than one party in one case, the amounts are recorded separately. Some awards cover both a personal grievance and additional claims.
