answer text <p>In the oral contribution by the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Justice to which he refers, the PUS refers to the ‘precious resource’ of High Court Judges. As it states on judiciary.uk: ‘High Court judges can hear the most serious and sensitive cases in the Crown Court (for example murder)’. Our impact assessment sets out the Cart judicial review measure will save 172-180 judge days per year in the High Court and Upper Tribunal. A High Court Judge, who would otherwise be devoting time to considering Cart judicial review, may therefore instead devote that time to considering other serious cases in the Crown Court.</p><p> </p><p>We continue to take action to tackle the impact the pandemic has had on our criminal justice system, including Crown Court backlog.</p><p> </p><p>The Judicial Review and Courts Bill provides the Crown Court with increased flexibility to return certain cases to the magistrates’ court, helping support court recovery by saving an estimated 400 Crown Court sitting days per year.</p><p> </p><p>We have allocated over a quarter of a billion pounds on recovery in the last financial year, making court buildings safe, rolling out new technology for remote hearings, recruiting additional staff and opening Nightingale courtrooms, including retaining 32 Nightingale Court rooms until the end of March 2022.</p><p> </p><p>The Ministry of Justice’s Spending Review settlement provides £477 million to improve waiting times for victims and to reduce Crown Court backlogs caused by the pandemic.</p>

answer text <p>The table sets out the number of judicial reviews that were conducted in the High Court (Administrative Court) of England and Wales each year between 1999- Q3 2019. These are substantive hearings, and not applications for permission to apply for judicial review. They include all outcomes, including the substantive decision of ‘withdraw’. Unfortunately, statistics from before this time were unobtainable in the time available. Data for Q4 2019 is due to be published on 5th March 2020.</p><p>The table also includes the number of judicial review disposals in the Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum) Chamber from 2013 (when cases started to be heard there) and until Q3 2019. Importantly, this statistic includes all applications for permission to apply for judicial review, and not just the substantive hearings in stark contrast to the above number quoted for the Administrative Court, which only accounts for substantive hearings. The figures cannot be broken down into hearings conducted in the time available.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Judicial review in the High Court (Administrative Court)</p></td><td><p>Judicial reviews in the UTIAC (Upper Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Substantive cases heard</p></td><td><p>Disposals (inc.applications rejected)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1999</p></td><td><p>1,117</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2000</p></td><td><p>1,207</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2001</p></td><td><p>729</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2002</p></td><td><p>420</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2003</p></td><td><p>420</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2004</p></td><td><p>334</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2005</p></td><td><p>392</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2006</p></td><td><p>461</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2007</p></td><td><p>421</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2008</p></td><td><p>419</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009</p></td><td><p>488</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>477</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>485</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>541</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>546</p></td><td><p>329</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>392</p></td><td><p>12,708</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>374</p></td><td><p>18,788</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>331</p></td><td><p>15,012</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>315</p></td><td><p>11,488</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018</p></td><td><p>219</p></td><td><p>9,971</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019 Q1-Q3</p></td><td><p>57</p></td><td><p>6,529</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>TOTAL</p></td><td><p>10,145</p></td><td><p>74,825</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p>
