Notes

1 Linlithgow Constituency taken as accepted claims submitted within the postcode area EH49

2 East Falkirk Constituency taken as accepted claims submitted within the postcode area EH30, EH47 EH2

3 Accepted claims by constituency are extracted from the live ETHOS databases. Cases from the live data bases are archived 12 months after they are concluded and as such personalised data (constituency) are no longer available. Anonymised data at venue level are exported to the Central Office of the Industrial Tribunal (COIT) database.

Although care is taken when processing and analysing the data, the details are subject to inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale case management system and are the best data available. The data may differ slightly to that of the published stats as this data was run on a different date.
