</p><p><em>Notes</em></p><p><em>(1) </em><em>Trial is identified based on the “case
type” variable (e.g. case_type =T), this is recorded at the point of receipt into
the Crown Court and it is possible that not all cases went on to trial.</em></p><p><em>(2)
</em><em>Includes cases with an offence to completion time greater than 10 years but
excludes a small number of cases with identified data quality issues and breaches.
</em></p><p><em>(3) </em><em>Includes all criminal cases which have received a verdict
and concluded in the specified time period in the Crown Court. </em></p><p><em>(4)
</em><em>Statistics are sources from linked magistrates’ courts and Crown Court administrative
data systems - with a match rate of around 95%.</em></p><p><em>(5) </em><em>Only one
offence is counted for each defendant in the case. If there is more than one offence
per defendant that complete on the same day, a set of validation rules applies to
select one offence only and these relate to the longest duration, seriousness and
the lowest sequence number of the offence.</em></p><p><em>(6) </em><em>Around 95%
of defendants have a main hearing date.</em></p><p><em>(7) </em><em>A median value
of 0 indicates that the case had a first listing and was completed on the same day.
</em></p><p><em>(8) </em><em>Committal proceedings were abolished nationally on 28
May 2013. Triable either-way cases are now sent rather than committed. </em></p>
