Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many cases involving a conviction on the grounds of joint enterprise have been referred to the Criminal Cases Review Commission since it was established; and of those cases how many people have been given leave to appeal.
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.
