The list does not include those granted transfer and disposed of in the same day. And the list is currently far from complete -- it currently tracks grants going back to the June 30, 2006 weekly list of transfers. There are a number of cases outstanding from before then. But over time this list should become all-inclusive.
Within a week after a case on the list has been decided, it is moved to a separate "decided cases" category at the end of this list.
Comments and corrections are welcome. Disclaimer - Although I try to make sure this is accurate, it is at best a rough guide; please refer to official sources for information you will rely upon.
