ATTORNEY GENERAL —
UNFAIR DISMISSAL CASE
270. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Attorney General:
I refer to the answer to question
without notice 232 in which the Attorney General advised that 1 244 hours were
recorded by the State Solicitor's Office and 171 hours recorded by the
Solicitor General and $12 015.20 expended in two related Supreme Court actions
involving the President of the Legislative Council.
(1) How many
hours have been recorded by the State Solicitor's Office and the
Solicitor General in relation to the Attorney General's intervention in
PSAB31/2020?
(2) What other associated
expenditure has been incurred?
(3) Is the intervention ongoing?
(4) Have any
other hours or associated expenditure been recorded or spent by those officers
in relation to that unfair dismissal claim?
(5) If yes to
(4), what are the identified hours or sums spent separate to the Attorney
General's intervention or, in the alternative, the combined total number
of recorded hours and expenditure?
