The Criminal Cases Review Commission have received 219 applications which they have categorised internally as a joint enterprise case. This categorisation only applies to applications received by the CCRC post the decision made by the Supreme Court in the case of R v Jogee [2016].

Four cases have been referred to the Court of Appeal for further appeal.
