Crown Court: Appeals
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what proportion of appeals to the Court of Appeal originating from the Crown Court were successful in the most recent year for which data is available.
Answered by Sarah Sackman
Official statistics published by Ministry of Justice provide figures for appeals that were allowed and dismissed. Withdrawn cases are not separately recorded in the published dataset.
In the most recent year for which data is available (2024), Court of Appeal (Criminal Division) outcomes for appeals originating from the crown courts and data on the proportion of appeals against crown court decisions were successful can be found in the following official publication:
Royal Courts of Justice and Judicial Sitting Days Annual Tables - 2024.
