Successful
Requested by Michael Gaffney on 2020-01-30 · answered 2020-02-25 · covers 2017, 2018, 2019
Response to FOI 02103 ('First-tier Tribunal: I am writing in response to your email of 30 January 2020'). Table (Total cases / Won / Lost / Withdrawn by applicant / Cost): 2017 - Total 2, Won 2, Lost 0, Withdrawn 0, Cost £2,520.00. 2018 - Total 8, Won 1, Lost 1, Withdrawn by applicant 6, Cost £18,585.00. 2019 - Total 5, Won 0, Lost 1, Withdrawn by applicant 4, Cost £11,180.00.
Caveat: Figures are internally consistent (Won+Lost+Withdrawn sums to Total Cases in every year), so no arithmetic ambiguity here.
