All data are sourced from ICOS (Integrated Court Operations System). The data include Crown Court defendants dealt with. The data have been aggregated by the Processing Court Office. The court structure in Northern Ireland does not equate to the court structures of England and Wales, Scotland or the Republic of Ireland. The Crown Court has exclusive jurisdiction to try offences charged on indictment. Trial on indictment in the Crown Court follows after the accused has been returned for trial at committal proceedings in a magistrates' court. The Public Prosecution Services is responsible for preparing a formal document called an indictment, stating the charges which the accussed will face, The matters are then tried before a Judge sitting with a jury. The defendants dealt with exclude defendants with only breach charges.
