How to find statistical data and analysis for courts and tribunals.

Monthly management information provides more frequent and timely measures of the operation of the court and tribunal system.

Management information

Our monthly management information (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hmcts-management-information) looks at understanding workload volumes and timeliness at a national level.

We previously published weekly management information during COVID-19 pandemic (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/hmcts-weekly-management-information-during-coronavirus-march-2020-to-may-2021) to help explain how we delivered critical public services from March 2020 to June 2021.

We published data on the use of audio and video technologies (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/hmcts-weekly-use-of-remote-audio-and-video-technologies-may-2020-to-may-2021) to facilitate court and tribunal hearings, alongside face-to-face hearings, from April 2020 to May 2021.

In addition to the routine management information published each month, from December 2023 we have also begun publishing further management information specifically relating to services modernised through the HMCTS Reform Programme (https://gov.uk/government/collections/hmcts-management-information-reformed-services). The modernised service management information will be published alongside the routine management information twice a year.

Ad Hoc Management Information releases

Occasionally we also publish ad hoc management information releases (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hmcts-ad-hoc-statistics).

We published Ad Hoc management information release (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/management-information-on-magistrates-court-activity) – management information about the activity in the Criminal courts following the public disorder starting on 30 July 2024.
