The data in these tables cover businesses only where we received at least 30 new cases and resolved at least 30 cases in the relevant six-monthly period.
There is a time lag between our receiving a new case and our resolving it. So resolved cases during a period are not all the same as the new cases received in that period. The time lag varies from case to case. This means the figures for the outcome of cases in a single period may not, on their own, be significant – but the trend over several periods could be.
Cases that have taken longer to resolve may not necessarily reflect the most recent performance of a financial business's in-house complaints handling. And some cases may relate to things done by a predecessor business that has been taken over by the business against which the complaint is now recorded.
