As the Deputy will be aware, management of the courts, including matters related to the administration of the courts, is the responsibility of the Courts Service, which, under the provisions of the Courts Service Act 1998, is independent in exercising its functions.

To be of assistance to the Deputy, I have had enquires made with the Court Service who have advised that the statistics sought by the Deputy are available in the Courts Service annual reports, accessible on the Courts Service website. I have further been advised that the 2024 annual report will be published in the coming weeks.
