Notes:
1. Figures for sheriff solemn and sheriff summary include estimates where local authorities were not able to distinguish between solemn and summary.

2. Revisions were made to the 2012-13 data and, as a consequence, the court type for some orders was unknown. The percentages are therefore calculated on the total orders where the court type was known.
