The Department for International Trade (DIT) is unable to provide spend on legal disputes, as this is not recorded separately to other forms of legal spend incurred by the Department.

Legal and other professional services costs incurred by the Department are included within note 4 of DIT’s Annual Report and Accounts found here for financial year 2021/22, and here for financial year 2020/21.
