Home Office written question – answered at on 20 September 2023.
The Marquess of Lothian
Conservative
To ask His Majesty's Government what High Court and Court of Appeal cases have been lost by the Home Office in 2022–23; and what the total cost to the taxpayer of such cases has been.
Lord Sharpe of Epsom
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department
The Home Office does not keep a central record of all judgments handed down where it was a party to legal proceedings before the High Court or Court of Appeal of England and Wales. Accordingly, it does not have a central record of all the cases that the Home Office won or lost during 2022-23. This also means that it does not have a central record of the costs which have arisen in each of those cases. This would require a review of each case to collate the information sought. Accordingly, the Department considers the disproportionate cost threshold applies for the collection of this information.
