The exact information requested is not held centrally by the Home Office in a way that allows us to answer this question.
Statutory Appeals are mainly represented at the First-tier and Upper Tribunal by Home Office Presenting Officers and Senior Presenting Officers. In Higher Courts, and on occasion when appropriate at the Tribunal, the Home Office will instruct Counsel to defend our decisions.
