HM Courts and Tribunals Service publishes management information and key statistics

Article summary

HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) has released the management information it used for understanding workload volumes and timeliness at a national level for the period beginning February 2019 to February 2020. The published spreadsheets provide management information relating to criminal, civil and family courts, as well as tribunals. The information tables and accompanying guidance make clear what terms used in the documents (such as receipts, disposals, outstanding and timeliness) mean. HMCTS advises users to use its management information only to understand the very latest high-level position, and encourages those seeking information for all other purposes to use the official statistics which provide a more comprehensive view of statistics related to court systems, including HMCTS performance, and puts the figures in context, analysing the key aspects where necessary.
