§ Mr. Luceasked the Attorney-General what is the number of litigants in person broken down by type of civil court who have, each year over the last six years, proceeded before such courts; and how many of these litigants have been successful in their cases.
The Attorney-GeneralThe information is not available in the form asked for by my hon. Friend. Judicial statistics in respect of civil matters are recorded on the basis of the number of cases entered and not the number of individual litigants. No information is recorded on legal representation in such cases, and information regarding the number of successful litigants who were not legally represented is not therefore available.
