Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many convictions under joint enterprise legislation have been successfully overturned on appeal.

The Ministry of Justice does not currently collate data on whether a prosecution or conviction relied on the doctrine of joint enterprise or whether an appeal in such a case resulted in the conviction being quashed or the sentence changed.

The Crown Prosecution Service has recently updated their case management system to enable better tracking of homicide and attempted homicide cases involving joint enterprise.
