Crown Court: Trials

Asked by Mr Richard HoldenConservativeMinistry of JusticeTabled Answered 5 February 2025UIN 26914

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many cases were awaiting a crown court date on (a) 4 July 2024 and (b) 28 January 2025.

Answered by Sarah Sackman

The information requested for January is a subset of future official accredited statistics on the Crown Court open caseload due to be published according to a pre-announced quarterly timetable as part of the Criminal Court statistics publication. It is not possible to provide the data requested for July, as such information comes from a live operational database which is updated monthly, with the previous month overwritten each month as new cases enter the system, and existing cases progress.
