Crown Court: Trials
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what estimate he has made of the number of either-way cases in the present Crown Court backlog that have yet to elect mode of trial.
Answered by Sarah Sackman
The Ministry of Justice publishes information about cases in the open caseload at both the magistrates’ courts and at the Crown Court. This includes breakdowns of volumes and durations as part of the Crown Court open caseload published as part of Criminal Court Statistics Quarterly: Criminal court statistics quarterly.
The Ministry of Justice does not publish data relating to the progression of cases or mode of trial in the open caseload.
