		Using monthly flow statistics from the District Court of NSW and the CASES database of ODPP, it was shown that provision of legal aid for the committal stage has been cost effective.
		District Court costs have been reduced through the decreased likelihood of committal to a higher court, the increased likelihood of committal being for sentence only, and the rate of closure of committals at the Local Court stage.
		This is an evaluation of the impact of the new enforcement regime (transferring disputes to the Federal Court) and whether this has affected the ability of disadvantaged complainants to enforce their rights.

		2.9 In August 1995, the author's appeal from the 1980 trial was heard in the New South Wales Court of Appeal, with the author appealing against an inadequate quantum of compensatory damages and the withdrawal of exemplary damages from the jury by the trial judge.
		Moreover, the author alleges that the New South Wales Court of Appeal is said to have ignored relevant evidence, fabricated facts and evidence and handed down false and misleading judgements in both the staying of disciplinary proceedings in 1986 and the substantive appeal in 1996.
		In the present case, the Committee notes that both the New South Wales Court of Appeal and the High Court of Australia considered the author's allegations and, on the basis of the available evidence, refused to disturb the lower court's findings of facts and law.
