Sheriff Court Civil Case Volumes

Case initiations and disposals

Initiations and Disposals (of all types) in the Sheriff Civil Courts remain low, but are recovering to 19-20 typical levels (dotted lines) as the courts continue to emerge from lockdown. However, figures recorded in December for initiations were lower than previous months due to fewer court days as a result of the festive period.
