<p>Data are published in Court Statistics Quarterly showing the number of outstanding
trial cases in the Crown Court annually at the end of 2001, and quarterly at the end
of each quarter commencing March 2009, including at the end of 30 September. The outstanding
number of cases in magistrates’ courts is published broken down by indictable only
trial cases, either way trial cases, summary motoring cases and summary non-motoring
cases from the quarter ending June 2012. This data set was created in April 2012 so
data is not available prior to that date. Prior to this, completed proceedings were
published for magistrates’ courts. The data does not distinguish between trial cases
still awaiting their trial and those who have either pleaded guilty or been convicted
and are awaiting sentence. Court Statistics Quarterly is published at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/court-statistics-quarterly"

Data to September 2014 is due to be published on 18 December 2014.</p>
