Requested by Michael Gaffney on 2020-01-30 · answered 2020-02-28 · covers 2017, 2018, 2019

Single combined answer to the three-part question (cases defended / cases won / legal costs spent, for 2017, 2018 and 2019): '2017 - 0 cases defended. 2018 - 3 cases defended, 1 in favour of LA, legal costs £1000. 2019 - 3 cased [sic] defended, 2 in favour of LA, legal costs £2000.'

Caveat: Council answered all three sub-questions (defended/won/costs) as one combined block per year rather than as separate itemised figures; 'in favour of LA' is used as the council's term for 'won'.
