  • Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that the data has been recorded manually by the local courts. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when data are used.<\/li><\/ul><\/p><\/td>

  • The data provided is the most recent available and for that reason might differ slightly from any previously published information.<\/li><\/ul><\/p><\/td>

<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

  • The data supplied is based on a count of defendants appearing in the Magistrates' Courts and Crown Court via Police Station (Mags only) and Prison video link. Therefore, the same defendant will appear in the tables more than once where they initially appeared via Police Station video link, and then subsequently appeared via Prison video link on one or more occasions.<\/li><\/ul><\/p><\/td>
