HM Courts and Tribunals Service

An executive agency and a tribunals service, also called HMCTS

Please note that His Majesty's Courts and Tribunal Service (HMCTS) is separate from the Judiciary. HMCTS deals purely with administration. They are not responsible for judges' decisions. They are strictly impartial, aren't allowed to comment on judicial decisions and cannot give legal advice.

Freedom of Information Requests to courts including magistrates courts, county courts, the high court and appeal courts can be made via the Courts and Tribunals Service.

Freedom of Information Requests to HMCTS are dealt with by the Ministry of Justice's FOI team. Please make clear within your request that you are seeking information held by HMCTS.

WhatDoTheyKnow lists the UK Supreme Court, The High Court of Justiciary [Scotland] and The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council separately.

Court records

Some requests to this authority may be refused using the "court records" exemption in section 32 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. In some cases, you may have the right to access court records, for example judgements/decisions, under section 5.8 of the Criminal Procedure Rules and Part 5 of the Civil Procedure Rules 1998.

Please take care with requests reliant on the procedure rules as information may be released which it not appropriate to publish online.

Please contact WhatDoTheyKnow with any concerns promptly (there is a "report this request" option under "Actions" on each request thread).
