<p>Published data for criminal cases show the number of trials which were vacated
or ineffective (and therefore do not go ahead) in the criminal courts and for ineffective
trials, the reasons why the trial was ineffective. One of these is ‘court administrative
issues including a lack of court time and court accommodation failures’, – however
it is not possible to identify instances where this is specifically due to reasons
of ‘insufficient court space’.</p><p> </p><p>Available data on vacated and ineffective
trials is published here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/criminal-court-statistics-quarterly-october-to-december-2018"

– March 2019 are due to be published on 27 June 2019.</p><p> </p><p>Information relating
to rescheduled cases and the reasons for them in the civil and family courts are not
held by the Ministry of Justice.</p>
