Cases finalised

These are the cases finalised during 2019. Some of these cases were received in earlier years.

* % Resolved W/P in favour of complainant

This refers to the % of cases which are resolved wholly or partially (W/P) in favour of the complainant. These cases are resolved by way of settlement, mediation, conciliation, recommendation or determination.G

Table 2 shows
