The Scottish Government suspended the publication of civil judicial statistics for the period 2003–07 due to a lack of precision in the definition of data items and consequently the way in which courts captured and recorded civil data. Extensive work was carried out to identify and rectify instances of inconsistent recording of data and the publication was resumed in December 2010.
