Crown Prosecution Service
- Question
-
To ask the Attorney-General on how many occasions decisions of the Crown Prosecution Service have been challenged via judicial review in each of the last five years; and how many such challenges were successful.
[159757]
- Answer
-
Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has maintained centrally recorded data on the number of judicial reviews for the last two years. The total number of finalised judicial reviews recorded was 102 in 2011-12 and 110 in 2012-13. No central record has been kept of the number of reviews for earlier years and such information could be obtained only at a disproportionate cost.
The data includes judicial reviews where the CPS was the applicant as well as those where the CPS was the respondent. It is not possible to show only specific challenges made against the CPS because this information is not held centrally.
