7- How much money was covered by the Ministry’s liability insurance?
8- (in the last 3 years) How much money – in total – were paid to external Legal consultants to defend the cases filed in ERA or to prepare the responses to the case broken down by year?
9- (in the last 3 years) How many ERA cases resulted in reinstatement of employee broken down by year?
