	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>Data on court sitting days is not routinely collected. Judge sitting days is the closest proxy we have to court sitting days for most jurisdictions. The official statistics for judge sitting days (tables 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 of the Civil Justice Statistics Quarterly, January to March 2019) were withdrawn on 5 September 2019, due to data discrepancies that were discovered after publication on 6 June 2019 and deemed potentially misleading to users. The data under investigation covers the period 2003 to 2018 and advise not using the earlier editions of these figures.</p><p>These discrepancies remain under investigation and, in line with the Code of Practice on Statistics, the Chief Statistician and Head of Profession decided to withdraw these tables until the investigations were complete as is normal practice. The revised figures will be published in due course, and will provide the total sitting days in Family, Civil and Crown courts.</p><p>Given that we are most of the way through 2019, to provide a forecast for 2019 would pre-empt the publication of Official Statistics. The actual judge sitting days for 2019 will be published in summer 2020 as is usual practice.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 05/11/2019 17:23:06 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
