Notes

  • A case is open while any defendant on it has an offence without a final result, counted at the quarter's end. The MoJ gives each centre's cases by type and no total for a centre, so the hub shows each type as the MoJ gives it: triable-either-way and indictable-only trials, cases committed for sentence, appeals and cases of unknown type.
  • The chart draws the two kinds of trial in the latest quarter; the table holds every type in both quarters. Cases whose centre is not recorded are listed as Unknown.
