Criminal Court Modelling - September 2025
The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service has published the modelling of projected criminal business levels across Scotland’s High Court and Sheriff Courts over the coming years.
The new modelling provides an indication of the likely levels of business (in the form of projected scheduled trial numbers and associated waiting periods) drawing on the current assessment of future case levels.
This provides an indication of the level of court provision that will be necessary to maintain an effective system and avoid excessive periods of delay.
Media enquiries on the contents of these workbooks should be directed to the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service Communications Office.
