Documentation

Description:
This dataset covers people involved in family court cases in England and Wales. Three tables have been created to join together information stored across multiple tables in the raw Family Court database: Cases - contains information about cases as a whole, including case type, key dates, related cases and originating court. There is one row per case. Events - contains information about events within a case, for example, hearings, applications, orders and administrative processes. There is one row per event within the case, which can be joined to cases table on the case_number_hash. Useful information about the Family Courts can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/family-court-statistics-quarterly-april-to-june-2023/guide-to-family-court-statistics
