Written Question
Judgements
Wednesday 26th November 2025

Asked by: Naz Shah (Labour - Bradford West)

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what mechanisms are in place to ensure timely correction of factual or chronological errors in published judgments to ensure that any discrepancies are removed from public record.

Answered by Sarah Sackman - Minister of State (Ministry of Justice)

Responsibility for the accuracy of judgments rests with the independent judiciary.

Courts have established procedures to correct errors promptly when they come to light. For example, under the Civil Procedure Rules, judges can amend accidental slips or omissions at any time.

Substantive errors that may affect the meaning of the judgment may require a formal application to the court. Once corrected, the revised judgment replaces the original in official records and on the Find Case Law service, operated by the National Archives.
