The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what proportion of appeals against county court decisions in the most recent year for which data is available were successful.

Answered by Sarah Sackman

Official statistics published by Ministry of Justice provide figures for appeals.

In the most recent year for which data is available (2024), the Court of Appeal (Civil Division) recorded the outcomes for appeals originating from the county courts that were allowed and dismissed. This along with data on the proportion of appeals against county court decisions that were successful can be found in the following official publication: Royal Courts of Justice and Judicial Sitting Days Annual Tables - 2024.

Withdrawn cases are not separately recorded in the published dataset.
