WQ.357/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR JUSTICE AND HOME AFFAIRS
BY DEPUTY R.S. KOVACS OF ST. SAVIOUR
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 14th OCTOBER 2024
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 21st OCTOBER 2024
Question
"For each year since 2021, will the Minister provide the three most common causes for cases being brought to the Petty Debts Court, the number of cases for each of these categories, and the total number of cases per year?"
Answer
In 2021, the Petty Debts Court dealt with 2037 cases. 1,373 of these were new cases. In 2022, the Petty Debts Court dealt with 2334 cases. Of these, 1,583 were new cases. In 2023, the Petty Debts Court dealt with 2533 cases. 1,675 of these were new cases.
The Petty Debts Court do not keep statistics on the causes of cases, and it is therefore not possible to provide the other information the Deputy requests.
