7. Finalisation of legal problems

As noted earlier, 19 388 of the problems reported by Australian respondents were followed up in depth.(1) This chapter examines the finalisation of these problems. It details whether or not these problems were over at the time of interview or still ongoing, and how concluded problems were finalised. The chapter also investigates which problems were less likely to be finalised and which respondents were less likely to achieve finalisation.
