Recommendation 3
3
Lack of transparency and data on regional County Court performance hinders effective scrutiny.
Conclusion
The civil justice quarterly statistics do not aid transparency or allow for effective data-led scrutiny into the performances of individual courts. The County Court is known to house significant regional variation across England and Wales yet there is no evidence of pro-active measurement of these regional differences, analysis of why such variation occurs, or sharing of good practice. (Conclusion, Paragraph 31)
