The Treasury Solicitor\u2019s Department holds records relating only to those cases in which it has acted. The Treasury Solicitor represents most, but not all, government departments in litigation. For example, Her Majesty\u2019s Revenue and Customs normally conducts its own litigation. According to records held by the Treasury Solicitor, the number of judicial reviews involving government departments in which it has acted in each of the last four years is as follows:<\/p>
2010 \u2013 8,566<\/p>
2011 \u2013 9,603<\/p>
2012 \u2013 10,274<\/p>
2013 \u2013 16,449<\/p>
Information relating to how many of those reviews were upheld in whole or in part in each year is not held centrally and could not be created without incurring disproportionate cost.<\/p>
The information requested in respect of the Administrative Court Office is published online at https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/267408/additional-court-tables-2012.xls<\/a> . The 2013 data is not currently available.<\/ins><\/p>"}
