Compiled from decisions published on the Ministry of Justice tribunal decisions database. A decision is attributed only when the counselnamed in it matches exactly one person on the relevant register (or the firm named in the decision confirms the match); self-represented appellants and uncertain matches are excluded, so this may undercount. “Other” includes referrals to the Minister, withdrawn appeals and jurisdiction decisions.
