1. Includes cases remitted to the High court from the Sheriff court.
2. The figures for 2014-15, and to an extent earlier years, may be underestimated due to late recording of disposals. See annex notes B13 to B16.
3. Includes the stipendiary magistrates court in Glasgow. Revision in 2014-15 bulletin has corrected some records for stipendiary court proceedings that were incorrectly coded as sheriff summary cases. See annex B15.
4. Includes District courts up to 2009-10.
