Today? April 2009?

Oop's I was reading if it would be possible to use the Freedom of Information Act to get details from the Ministry of Justice around the number of claims raised by a certain DCA and then the number of those claims that were withdrawn before being heard.I came across this article and was meant to post this, as for the other post I would think the numbers are even higher today
