2009
Please note that the manner in which the OPC’s case summaries are numbered has changed slightly. In order to clarify the year in which findings were issued, we will include the calendar year to our numbering system. For example, the first posting of 2009 will be 2009-001.
Case summaries which have already been published on our web site will retain their previous numbering, but the year of the finding will be added at the beginning of the number.
