Crown Solicitor's Office Files

In reply to Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (17 July 2014). (Estimates Committee A) (First Session)

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform): I have been provided the following advice:

The increase in the projected closed files for 2014-15 reflects an emphasis by the Crown Solicitor's Office (CSO) to undertake to formally close files that had remained open on the SCO system, notwithstanding that the matter had been finalised in previous years.
