Between 1997 and 2002 the Tribunal for the Investigation of Injustices ruled that government departments and entities were guilty of committing an injustice in 553 cases. In this period, the Nationalist Party was in government under Prime Minister Eddie Fenech Adami between 1998 and 2002.
These figures are given on the 2nd December 2002 by the then PM Fenech Adami in reply to Parliamentary Question no 37216 made by Opposition MP Jose Herrera.
In his reply, PM Fenech Adami confirmed that since its inception, the Tribunal for the Investigation of Injustices has pronounced itself in 656 cases. Of these, 203 were decided against a government department and 350 against a government entity, bringing the total to 553 out of 656.
These figures are only up the to the time of reply to the PQ in December 2002, during the third term of office of PM Fenech Adami (1998-2003).
In a separate PQ dated 14th November 2011, by Dr Herrera but this time to the then Justice Minister Austin Gatt, it was revealed that until that time, the President of Malta had ordered government entities to pay Lm 283,823 (€661,308) in compensation to persons whom the Tribunal had ruled in their favour.
The Tribunal for the Investigation of Injustices was created by a Labour Government in 1997 to dispense justice to citizens who feel they were the victim of an injustice by government, its department and entities.

Ingustizzji
- Wed 31-Oct-2012, 12:45Agent Smith naqbel mieghek.
Jiena wkoll kont sofrejt ingustizzji meta nqbizt fil-promotion minn nies li ma kellhomx il-kwalifiki li kelli jien.
Meta kien hemm Dr Sant kien ghamel tribunal tal-ingustizzji, kont ghamilt it-talba tieghi li kienet saret fl-ahhar jum li fih kien jaghlaq iz-zmien minhabba cirkostanzi li ma kellix kontroll fuqhom u l-imhallef ma kienx accettaha ghax qal li dahlet tard.
Kienet dahlet fiz-zmien imma l-imhallef hekk kien qal.
Nittama li l-PL fil-gvern li jmiss jerga' jaghmel tribunal u ma jorbtux la biz-zmien u lanqas il-kumpens kemm ghandu jkun ghax dak iz-zmien kien intrabat ma' Lm5000 u jiena u ohrajn sofrejna ingustizzja iktar minn hekk li hafna baqghu jbatuha anki fil-pensjoni ghax spiccaw bil-paga inqas minhabba li ma hadux promozzjoni.
Ghalhekk biex issir gustizzja maghna ghandna ninghataw dak li suppost hadna u mhux inqas u ghandu jkun bl-imghax u jkun eskluz mit-taxxa tad-dhul ghax dak suppost hadnih snin ilu u tlifna imghax u affarijiet li stajna naghmlu u ma ghamilnihomx minhabba f'hekk.

- Wed 31-Oct-2012, 12:17@John Debattista siehbi jien bhalek il-karriera li stinkajt ghaliha u ghalhekk hajti ghal qorti kienet tiswa biss 2500LM, u dan wara snin nistenna biex isir gustizzja mieghi. Iva nerga nghid li t-tribunal tal-ingustizji kien l-ikbar ingustizzja li sofrew il-Laburisti. Dan it-Tribunal kien wiehed mill-fatturi li l-Partit Laburista tilef ghad t'elezjonijiet kif ukoll partitarji Laburist.

- Wed 31-Oct-2012, 12:03Hi, I am one of the individuals that suffered political injustice in the Armed Forces and with the help of Dr. Herrera I got my deserved promotion. If I am not wrong 43% of the cases occured within the Armed Forces.

- Wed 31-Oct-2012, 09:00Jekk il-PL fil-Gvern jigbor l-ingustizzji fic-Civil biss, ta' dawk li qatt ma ressqu l-ilment, zgur li jidhlu mas-600 kaz valiedu iehor. Il-PN b'mod partikulari GonziPN huwa lupu liebes ta' haruf...Dimonji-kristjani u mhux Demo-kristjani.

- Wed 31-Oct-2012, 08:41I was one of the victims who suffered inhuman and degrading treatment from 1987 up to 1996. A number of personal letters which I sent to Eddie Fenech Adami to let him know of my pain and sufferings during that time at Air Malta were totally ignored. Also ignored were the repeated protest about my ill treatments raised by Dom Mintoff, KMB and Lorry Sant in Parliament . The Late Joe Fenech, then politically responsible for Air Malta kept silent throughout.

- Wed 31-Oct-2012, 07:06Is this the kind of Life we want to live in ?
This kind of injustice was all done under a P N Government which used to say that the P.N. is the champion of DEMOCRACY.
The 553 cases are only a fraction of what is officially known. God only knows how many many more there are that have not done any thing, because either, due to their unfortunately lack of funds, they do not know with the Tribunal that exists and which was created by the Labour party in Government in 1997, or due that they may think that the more they open their mouth, the more they may suffer injustice to them and to their families.

- Wed 31-Oct-2012, 06:17Ara jithajjarx il-Partit Laburista jekk ikun fil-Gvern jaghmel xi Tribunal iehor simili ta'dan.
Dan it-tribunal kien l-akbar ingustizzja li saret mal-Laburisti li soffrew ingustizzja taht Eddie. Hafna minn dawn il-kazi ma hadux dak li kien haqqhom ghaliex l-iktar li stajt tiehu kien LM5000 aparti li kien hemm dewmien kbir biex jinqatghu dawn is-sentenzi.
