§ The Attorney-GeneralBy the end of January 1973 the National Industrial Relations Court had heard 35 appeals by individuals complaining of unfair dismissal of which five, or 14.3 per cent., were successful and 61 appeals by individuals claiming redundancy payments of which 26, or 42.6 per cent., were successful. The court has rarely had to consider the amount of money involved in such cases and the figures are not readily available.
