Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what her planned timetable is for (a) completing the migration of the Upper Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber to new case management systems and (b) publishing complete datasets for that tribunal’s workload.

A project to deploy a new case management system to multiple jurisdictions including all four chambers of the Upper Tribunal, including the Immigration and Asylum Chamber (UTIAC) was completed in May 2022.

The planned timetable for publishing datasets based on the UTIAC work types is as follows:

Judicial Review – data relating to judicial review is currently published on a quarterly basis.

Appeals – in order to publish data relating to appeals (challenging decisions of the First-tier Tribunal), further substantial technical work is required to pull the raw data from the new case management system into our secure and robust data platform and transform it into meaningful jurisdiction specific information for publication. This work is planned for 2025.
