Details

Receipts

Her Majesty’s Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) recorded 74,400 receipts in the period April to June 2014. This is 71% lower than the same period of 2013, and the lowest receipts since this statistical series began in 2008/09. This has been driven by reductions in social security and child support appeals and employment claims.

Disposals

There were a total of 140,800 cases or claims disposed of in April to June 2014. This represents a decrease of 35% on those cases disposed of in the same period in 2013.

Caseload outstanding

For all tribunals combined, the caseload outstanding at the end of June 2014 was 609,600, 34% lower than a year earlier.

Timeliness

For social security and child support tribunals, in April to June 2014 half of all cases were cleared in 25 weeks or less. For both immigration and asylum and employment tribunal single claims, it was 26 weeks or less.
