On 13 October 2016 the current controllers of the High Court Earthquake list presented information about its operation.  Here are some interesting stats.  Court filings by year: 2010-1; 2011- 3; 2012- 52; 2013- 196; 2014- 135; 2015-66; 2016-283.  Percentage of cases disposed of by year: 2010-100%; 2011- 100%; 2012-98%; 2013- 89%; 2014- 66%; 2015-23%; 2016-1%.  52% of cases settled with less than 1 month before the trial date.  The 2016 spike is caused by the pre limitation period expiry for the 4 September 2010 earthquake.   We expect a similar spike in early 2017.
