Self-represented defendants in bail and remand hearings
Dear Ministry of Justice,
I am seeking information under the Freedom of Information Act (2000) regarding data held by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) on bail and remand hearings.
Specifically, I am requesting the following information: What proportion of defendants in bail and remand hearings represent themselves in court, for each year in the past five years for which data is available?
Any information would be greatly appreciated and please do not hesitate to get in touch if you require any further clarification of the question.
Thank you for your help.
Yours faithfully,
Gideon Leibowitz
