HM Courts and Tribunals Service: ICT

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will make an estimate of the total value of compensation that has been paid out for unlawful detentions where case outcomes have been recorded on the Common Platform in each of the last three years.

Answer

HM Courts & Tribunals Service records compensation paid for unlawful detentions on the OPTIC digital system, which is used to record a range of incidents. The OPTIC system does not record whether a compensation payment for a case classified as an unlawful detention is also associated with a case recorded on the Common Platform system with an outcome, so the information requested is not held centrally.
