The total is down from 51 in the previous year. The court decided 219 applications for permission to appeal and delivered 49 judgments in the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, up from 39 in the previous year, according to its annual report and accounts, laid before Parliament last week.
It also concluded the implementation of its Case Management Portal system and launched two websites, as part of a three-year ‘Change Programme’, which was delivered on time and in budget.
Vicky Fox, the court’s chief executive, said: ‘The court plays an important role in the UK and internationally, deciding appeals of great significance. It is also one the most open and transparent courts in the world.’ Fox said more than 66,000 people visited the court last year while 1.4 million people used the court’s website.
