</p><p>We are only able to provide information to December 2018 as this aligns with
the latest information on court sitting days which is published on Gov.uk and is available
here. <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/civil-justice-statistics-quarterly-january-to-march-2019"

It is part of the Royal Courts of Justice Annual Tables (which contain at Table 5.2
a breakdown of sitting days by type of work and level of judge)</p><p>The data source
for these figures are a number of operational systems and as such are liable to change
and may not reflect previously published statistics.</p><p>Last year Crown Court trial
waiting times were at their lowest since 2014, with this year’s allocation of sitting
days reflecting this.</p>
