As of 30 July 2021 there were 27 unallocated substance and maladministration cases. This is the same as last month but they are not all the same cases. Some cases have been allocated and we have received new applications for investigation.
As of 30 July 2021 there were 27 unallocated substance and maladministration cases. This is the same as last month but they are not all the same cases. Some cases have been allocated and we have received new applications for investigation. It is taking us 7 months to allocate a case to an investigator. A new Senior Investigator joins us on 2 August and 2 further Senior Investigators will be joining at the beginning of September to help reduce these delays.
There are no delays in processing applications for referral, admissibility reviews or undue delay applications.
