</p><p>The utilisation quoted is for all jurisdictions (work type) sharing this Crown
Court building, and not just for Crown work. Availability is calculated as 2.5 hours
per session per working day, and there are generally 2 sessions per working day, giving
a notional 5-hour sitting day. Bradford Crown Court data relates to a subset of the
Bradford Combined Court courtrooms that are primarily designed for Crown use. Available
hours represents the hours notionally available, irrespective of whether subsequently
utilised for crime, civil, family or tribunal hearings. The availability figure ignores
all short-term unavailability as a result, for example, of being out of use due to
local/temporary building work, or use by other organisations. Utilisation is only
recorded for hearings in HMCTS-controlled or owned court/hearing rooms where parties
were physically present.</p><p> </p><p>The utilisation rate is calculated as the total
hours used divided by the number of notionally available hours. The data was produced
from the HMCTS Performance Database on 8 July 2019. Although care is taken when processing
and analysing the data, the details are subject to inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale
case management system and is the best data available</p>
