HM Courts & Tribunals Service records compensation paid for unlawful detentions on the OPTIC digital system, which is used to record a range of incidents. The OPTIC system does not record whether a compensation payment for a case classified as an unlawful detention is also associated with a case recorded on the Common Platform system with an outcome, so the information requested is not held centrally.
