Notes:
1. Figures for sheriff solemn and sheriff summary include estimates as some local authorities were not able to distinguish between solemn and summary for all orders.
2. The court type for some orders in 2014-15 was unknown. The percentages are therefore calculated on the total orders where the court type was known.
3. Figures for the years 2015-16 to 2017-18 have been revised from those previously published due to the receipt of updated information from some councils.
