Tribunal representation sucess rates

Have tried looking in vain for this, but can anyone tell me where I can find the latest statistics showing success rates at Firts tier Tribunals broken down by represented and unrepresented appellants?

Thanks

hi

i don’t think tribunal’s service publish stats on that any more.  came up in recent dwp research report on esa claimants where it said that 40% of esa appeals successful where claimant went on own, compared to 70% where they had help -

heres link to righstnet story on dwp research report 745 -

Thanks - given the particularly poor standard of evidence and decision making in ESA one would expect such a high sucess rate. 

Does anyone know the success rate for represented appeals generally?  I recall it was said to be about twice the success rate for unrepresented appeals.

Neil - we obtained these stats for 2010 from the MoJ under a freedom of info request. I will email you a copy. They are not quite as comprehensive as previously published by TS when part of DWP. MoJ advise that they will be published in future fstarting with the first quater of 11-12 due in Sept. MoJ can also provide these stats by tribunal venue.
