Statisticians comment

This report covers the period to the end of December 2024.

This is the second release of data following the implementation of the “One Crown” project which has aligned definitions, methodologies and data processing for all published Crown Court measures across MOJ and HMCTS. Following an external quality review in December, the data have undergone a review by the Office for Statistics regulation which agreed with the earlier review to find significant confidence in the data and retain the Accredited Official Statistics status of this release.

As part of the “One Crown” implementation, we have continued to improve our Crown Court methodology and align HMCTS and MoJ processes. We have reviewed and improved all remaining headline Crown Court measures. This approach ensures that we continue to release robust, trustworthy and high value data. The impact of change is small, and trends are largely unchanged. Further detail concerning each change and the impacts on published series are available in the consultation document.

The demand on the criminal courts continues to grow with receipt volumes increasing at both the magistrates’ courts and the Crown Court. Receipts in the last year are higher than they have been across the series and are 13% higher than the previous year.

Disposals volumes have increased but remain below receipts at both magistrates and Crown courts resulting in the open caseload continuing to grow. At the Crown Court the open caseload continued to report a series peak, reaching 74,651 cases at the end of December 2024.

In the latest period trial effectiveness has remained stable and timeliness has fallen back from series peaks – both remain above pre-COVID levels seen in 2019.

Statisticians comment

This report covers the period to the end of March 2025.

The demand on the criminal courts continues to grow with receipt volumes maintaining high levels at the magistrates’ – with increases seen for more serious “for trial” cases. Receipts at the Crown Court have maintained high-levels over the last year, with over 30,000 cases entering the Crown Court in the latest quarter.

Disposals volumes have shown little change but remain below receipts at both magistrates and Crown courts resulting in the open caseload continuing to grow. At the Crown Court the open caseload continued to report a series peak, reaching 76,957 cases at the end of March 2025.

In the latest period trial effectiveness has remained stable and time taken for Crown Court cases has increased slightly following falls from series peaks – both remain above pre-COVID levels seen in 2019.

Statisticians comment

“This report covers the period to the end of December 2020 and shows the continued impact of COVID-19 on the criminal courts.

Following the limited operation of the criminal courts and the gradual reintroduction of jury trials during the report period, the figures published today show the continued recovery in the system. This can be more clearly seen at the magistrates’ courts, where disposals remained above receipts and the outstanding caseload has consistently fallen.

Some of the magistrates’ court disposals will feed directly through to the Crown Court, where receipts have maintained higher levels seen in Q3 2020. Disposals have increased but at a slower rate than receipts, as a result the outstanding caseload has continued to rise.

We are publishing experimental analysis on the nature of the outstanding caseload for the first time. This shows that the age of outstanding cases has increased sharply due to the COVID-19 pandemic response and the proportion of cases which have been outstanding for more than a year has increased markedly.

The trends at both magistrates’ courts and the Crown Court continue beyond the National Statistics series into more recent management information published by Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service (HMCTS) – which are highlighted in this document.”

Civil (excluding family) cases

• The courts dealt with 351,000 new claims and 11,000 hearings or trials. These represent a reduction of around 28% and 36% respectively in caseload figures since the number of hearings and trials peaked in 2007.
• Consistently, between 3 and 3.5% of all claims issued go to hearing or trial.
• There was an average of 58 weeks between a claim being issued and the claim going to trial. This represents an increase of 10% since the low of 52 weeks in 2008.

Family cases

• The number of cases that started in family courts in England and Wales remained at around 70,000 in Q2 2013 with the largest proportion (45%) being for divorce applications.
• The average time for the disposal of a care or supervision application continued to drop to 41 weeks (down 21% from Q2 2012).
• The average duration for private law disposals where both parties were represented was 23 weeks (up 28% from Q2 2012). However, 79% of these disposals had start dates before 1 April 2013.

Criminal cases

• There was a 15% increase in the number of adult indictable or triable-either-way cases completing at the magistrates’ courts compared to the previous quarter. Despite this, the time taken for cases to complete fell by 4 days – coinciding with the removal of committal hearings in magistrates’ courts on 28th May 2013.
• This removal of committal hearings in magistrates’ courts lead to a 27% increase in ‘committed for trial’ receipts at the Crown Court compared with the previous quarter.

Statisticians comment

This report covers the period to the end of June 2023.

The volume of receipts in the Crown court in the latest quarter is the highest for over two years, and coupled with a reduction in disposals, has led to an increase in the outstanding caseload in the Crown Court. Outstanding cases in the magistrates’ court have also increased in the latest period, with more receipts than disposals recorded.

The effective trial rates at both magistrates’ and Crown Courts showed little change, after recovering in the previous two quarters, following the Criminal Bar Association action; and the average length of time between offence and completion (end-to-end timeliness) decreased at both magistrates’ and Crown Court.

Main findings

These statistics are used to monitor the type and volume of cases that are received and processed through the court system of England and Wales. Seasonal variations affecting the workload of the courts may impact on comparisons with other periods. Because the figures for the latest quarter are provisional, the numbers and trends highlighted in the commentary may be subject to revision in the future.

Civil (excluding family) cases

• In Q1 2013, courts dealt with 357,000 new claims and 11,000 hearings or trials. These represent a reduction of around 26 and 38 per cent respectively in workload figures since 2007.
• Historically, just over 3.5 per cent of all claims issued have gone to hearing or trial.
• There were 11,000 insolvency petitions continuing the downward trend seen since 2009, after more than doubling between 2001 and 2009.

Family cases

• The number of applications across family courts remained at around 70,000 in Q1 2013 with the majority (44 per cent) being divorce applications.
• The average time for the disposal of a care or supervision application continued to drop to 42 weeks (down 24 per cent from Q1 2012).

Criminal cases

• In Q1 2013 magistrates’ courts and the Crown Court held 48,000 trial hearings, of which 45 per cent were recorded as effective; 38 per cent as cracked and 17 per cent as ineffective. These figures have remained stable since 2009.
• The average number of days taken from offence to completion in either the magistrates’ courts or the Crown Court increased slightly to 161 days in Q1 2013. However, timeliness between first listing to completion remained at 33 days.

Judicial Reviews

• Between 2007 and 2012 there has been an increase of 86 per cent in applications lodged, with the growth driven by Judicial Reviews on immigration and asylum.
• In 2007 six per cent of all applications reached a final hearing and three per cent decided in favour of the claimant.

The Mental Capacity Act

• In 2012, there were 25,000 applications made under the Mental Capacity Act 2005, an increase of six per cent since 2011. The majority of these (60 per cent) relate to applications for appointment of a property and affairs deputy.

Assessment of litigation costs, and publicly funded legal services

• In 2012, 95,000 applications for legal aid were made in magistrates’ courts for representation in trial and committed for sentence cases at the Crown Court. This represents a decrease of 13 per cent on the previous year and continues the decreasing trend of applications observed since the introduction of Crown Court means testing in June 2010.
• For 2011/12 the Legal Services Commission delivered nearly 2.5 million acts of assistance, a decrease of nine per cent compared to the previous year. Total cash payments and net expenditure for all publicly funded legal services were also down compared to the previous year by two and three per cent respectively.

Statisticians comment

This report covers the period to the end of June 2022.

The latest figures show Crown Court outstanding caseloads increasing for the first time in over a year as a result of disposals falling below receipts. This is likely, at least in part, due to the Criminal Bar Association action. Outstanding caseloads at the magistrates’ court continued to decrease, where both disposals and receipts fell in the latest quarter.

The proportion of trials which are rescheduled on the day of trial (‘ineffective’) at the Crown Court has also increased in the latest quarter, with (lack of) defence barrister availability becoming the strongest contributing factor.

Timeliness estimates, which reflect the length of time a case has taken at the point of completion and therefore covers the period where the pandemic disrupted court processes, showed a mixed picture. Timeliness decreased in both Magistrates and Crown Court but remain above pre-COVID levels.

Statisticians comment

This report covers the period to the end of June 2021, it shows the impact of COVID-19 response on criminal courts and the recovery from measures put in place to minimise risks to court users.

Following the limited operation of the criminal courts, particularly during Spring 2020, and the gradual reintroduction of jury trials during the reporting period, the figures published today show the continued recovery in the system.

The volume of listed trials at both the magistrates’ courts and the Crown Court continues to increase, returning close to pre-COVID levels.

Disposals at the magistrates’ courts and Crown Courts continue to rise from series lows in the previous year. Receipts remain above disposals at the Crown Court meaning that the outstanding caseload continues to grow, although this growth has slowed and the latest management information from Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service to July 2021 indicate that outstanding volumes have begun to stabilise.

The continued impacts of the COVID response and ongoing restrictions are also evident in the increase in timeliness estimates across both magistrates’ courts and Crown Courts.
