Rejected
Collect and publish individual court performance data to address County Court delays and disparities.
Conclusion
HMCTS must collect and publish data on individual court and tribunal performances to allow for the identification of regional disparities, and support investment planning in reducing County Court delays. The data must include the timeliness of pre-trial stages, rates of settlement and enable HMCTS’ performance to be measured against published key performance indicators. (Recommendation, Paragraph 32)

The Ministry of Justice publishes civil statistics quarterly which include the timeliness for pre-trial stages (Civil justice statistics quarterly – GOV.UK). These statistics present regional performance and can be filtered by court. We will review the data available and will consider whether improvements could be made to our data and publication processes.
