Magistrates Courts

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many cases were heard in the magistrates court in Llwynypia in each of the last five years.
Answer

The number of completed magistrates court proceedings in Llwynypia and Pontypridd magistrates courts, from 2007-08 to 2009-10, are given in the table. Centrally collected information does not allow the separate identification of those completed at Llwynypia specifically. These statistics are not available prior to 2007-08 on a comparable basis.

Completed proceedings in Llwynypia and Pontypridd magistrates courts, 2007-08 to 2009-10
Total number of completed criminal proceedings (including breaches) Total number of completed non-criminal proceedings Total number of completed court proceedings
2007-08 8,500 4,000 12,400
2008-09 7,100 4,100 11,200
2009-10¹ 6,800 3,200 10,000
¹ Provisional. Notes: 1. Criminal proceedings include indictable/triable-either-way, adult breach proceedings, adult summary motoring and non-motoring proceedings, and youth proceedings. 2. Non-criminal proceedings include civil and family applications and means inquiries, representation orders and special jurisdiction. 3. All figures are given to the nearest hundred, and therefore the cases may not sum to the total as a result. 4. Prior to April 2007, data were collected from different administrative systems and are not directly comparable with those given in the table. For this reason, the table shows the figures from 2007 only. Source: Completed Proceedings, HM Courts Service Performance Database ('OPT').
