Outcome

Judicial-delay statistics — case-pendency, case-type backlog, average-age — are public records disclosable under §4.

Ratio decidendi

Court-pendency statistics — pending cases by type and age, oldest pending case per court, average disposal time — are records of the public authority's own functioning. The National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG) is the operational discharge of this §4(1)(b) obligation; RTI supplements where NJDG is incomplete.
