answer text <p>Table 1 shows how many Recorders sat and the total number of days sat by Recorders, in each year between 2015 and 2020. Figures are for England and Wales. Data can only be supplied to December 2020 because the 2021 data are not yet finalised.</p><p><strong>Table 1. The number of Recorders who sat, and the total number of Recorder sitting days, England and Wales, 2015 to 2020. </strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number of recorders who sat</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total Sitting Days</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2015</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>989</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>23,634</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2016</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>1,057</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>30,380</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2017</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>953</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>31,902</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2018</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>997</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>25,273</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2019</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>844</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>17,499</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2020</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>789</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>16,514</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: Judicial Itineraries System</p><p>We are making use of fee-paid judiciary, including those sitting in retirement. For a second year in a row, we have increased the maximum number of sitting days for all Recorders from 30 to 80 days. This year, our planned recruitment has brought in additional judges since October 2021, which is helping us to further increase our activity for the rest of the financial year.</p><p>Notes for the table:</p><p>1) These figures represent only the days sat in all courts and chambers (including the Royal Courts of Justice). Recorders undertake a range of other functions outside the courtroom that are not shown here.</p><p>2) The data for each Recorder sitting has been extracted from a live system and so is slightly different to the published data on sitting days. This can be found in the Royal Court of Justice sitting days tables: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/civil-justice-statistics-quarterly-january-to-march-2021</p><p>3) Please note the Judicial Itinerary tool, from which each Recorder's sitting day was extracted, was deployed in April 2015 so this data is missing for Jan-Mar 2015. Therefore our 2015 figure only covers Apr to Dec of that year.</p><p>4) Only Recorders sitting in the capacity of Recorder are included. Recorders sittings as a Deputy High Court Judge are excluded.</p>

answer text <p>Information on how many Recorders have sat to hear cases in each year has only been held centrally since 2017/18. The below table, however, sets out the number of Recorders in post at 1<sup>st</sup> April of each year since 2010. We expect Recorders in post to have been offered the opportunity to sit.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Number of Recorders<sup>1</sup></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>1,233</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>1,221</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>1,155</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>1,196</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>1,126</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>1,031</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>1,130</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>920</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018</p></td><td><p>830</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019</p></td><td><p>873</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><sup>1 </sup>Figures are at 1st April of each year.</p></td></tr></tbody></table><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Some Recorders hold more than one judicial appointment. In such cases, the appointment that the judicial office holder undertakes for the majority of their time is known as their primary appointment. In order to avoid double counting of judges, this table shows figures for primary appointments only and as such will not count judges whose appointment as a Recorder is not their primary appointment.</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Figures are from the published Judicial Diversity Statistics which can be found here: <a href="https://www.judiciary.uk/publication-type/statistics/" target="_blank">https://www.judiciary.uk/publication-type/statistics/</a></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Recorders sit mainly in the Crown, County and Family Courts. Figures on court sitting days are published on Gov.uk and the latest information covering 2018 is available here. It is part of the Royal Courts of Justice Annual Tables (which contain at Tables 5.1 and 5.2 a breakdown of sitting days by type of work and level of judge): <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/civil-justice-statistics-quarterly-january-to-march-2019" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/civil-justice-statistics-quarterly-january-to-march-2019</a>.
