 +===== Outcome =====
 +
 +Court-wise pendency data is disclosable under §4(1)(b) proactive disclosure; individual judicial notings remain exempt under §8(1)(b).
 +
 +===== Ratio decidendi =====
 +
 +Aggregate docket-level pendency data (by court, by age-band, by subject) falls squarely within the §4(1)(b)(xii) duty of proactive disclosure. It does not attract §8(1)(b) because it is not the internal deliberative work of a judge. Case-specific notings by a judge remain within §8(1)(b).
