This council's own answer doesn't give a usable outcome breakdown. This estimate applies the pooled England-wide outcome rate (no regional sample was large enough to trust on its own) to this council's own real, officially-published appeal volume for 2025 (144 appeals) — see how estimates work.
Freedom of Information responses
Awaiting classification

Caveat: Attachment confirmed to exist but not machine-readable: Downloaded the .docx ('FOI Response 5563.docx') and extracted its full text via unzip + XML tag-stripping of word/document.xml (Read tool cannot open binary .docx directly). No Sutton-specific tribunal appeal counts, outcomes, or decision-type breakdown are actually contained in the letter. The two accompanying image.png attachments (very likely email-signature/logo graphics, consistent with what appeared inline in every other council's covering letter in this batch) were not downloaded, since the docx already supplies the complete final response text and specifically states no figures are being given.. Needs manual retrieval, not necessarily a fresh FOI.
