Crown Court: Trials
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what proportion of ineffective Crown Court trials which started after day one of the set trial date in 2024 reached completion.
Answered by Sarah Sackman
Of all Crown Court trials that were ineffective between January and September 2024, 21% were subsequently effective on a later date (up to the end of September 2024). The remainder will include trials listed for a date beyond the end of September 2024, as well as those cases no longer requiring a trial date (for example the defendant has pleaded guilty).
Of all ineffective trials that subsequently started between January and September 2024, 80% had reached conclusion by the end of September 2024.
