Description:
The Ministry of Justice Data First civil court dataset provides data on civil justice cases
heard by the county courts in England and Wales from 2012. Data has been extracted
from the CaseMan and Possession Claims Online (PCOL) management information
systems, used by His Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) to manage civil
law cases within the county courts.
Information is included on individual civil actions (including money claims, damages,
bankruptcy, and mortgage and landlord possession cases); the people involved as
parties to the case and their role; and key case dates, processes and outcomes (such as
monetary amounts awarded in judgments).
There are separate tables for cases or claims, parties, events in the case, hearings,
judgments and warrants, which can be joined together. A civil case will usually have
multiple people or companies involved (for example a claimant and defendant) and may
have many events, which are each included as a separate record. These depend on the
type of case and its progress.
As part of Data First, records have been deidentified and deduplicated, using our
probabilistic record linkage package, Splink, so that a unique identifier is assigned to all
records believed to relate to the same person, allowing for longitudinal analysis and
investigation of repeat appearances. This opens up the potential to address questions
on, for example, common transitions between different civil actions and patterns
associated with repeat involvement in the civil court system.
