Dear Crown Law Office,

I would like to request a breakdown of costs awards in cases defended by Crown law in 2021 and 2022.

- In particular, the number of cases in each period where costs were awarded in favour of Crown law; and
- the number of cases in each period where costs were awarded against Crown law;
- If possible, the total $ amount of costs for both the above requests;
- If possible, the budget Crown law has to defend claims in court; and the budget to pay for costs orders against it.

Thank you very much,
