Below the photo, in identically styled text: "Today, the High Court ruled that the ban is illegal".

Anyone got a guide to breaking down administrative appeals’ case reference numbers, as used for listed hearings? Ie not neutral citations
E.g.
Upper Tribunal (Administrative Appeals Chamber)
Kaye v Hertfordshire County Council
UA-2025-000169-HS
What does “HS” stand for?
Measuring the impact of knowledge in 2025.

Publishing unpublished legal decisions - what should I consider before doing so?
I.e. a case isn’t available via @nationalarchives.gov.uk.web.brid.gy or @bailii.bsky.social
But a trusted source passes me a copy. What could go wrong if I make it publicly available via my org website?

You requested the following information: ‘During the 2023/24 financial year: 1.

Solicitors Regulation Authority FOI response, page 2 of 3: "a. The 2023/24 financial year b. The 2024/25 financial year so far to date (21 December 2024) 3. How many of the statutory production notices identified in item 1 have not yet disclosed all requested information to the SRA? 4. How many reports were submitted to the SRA by regulated firms or individuals that included the phrase or discussed “iniquity exception” or words to that effect?’ Our response: We are unable to provide you with the information that you have requested. The information requested is not captured by our systems in a manner that would allow us to automatically extract it. To provide this information, we would have to manually review files for the relevant information and extract/collate the information. Identifying and extracting information on individual production notices, and specific details such as how many were sent seeking information falling under LPP, would exceed the time/cost limit as set out under our Transparency Code. More information on how we handle requests, including a link to a copy of our Transparency Code, can be found on our website: www.sra.org.uk/sra/how-we-work/transparency Next steps: If you are not satisfied with the response that I have provided to your specific request for disclosure under our Transparency Code, you can find more information about the internal review and complaint process in the notes at the end of this letter.

Solicitors Regulation Authority FOI response, page 3 of 3: "Internal review and complaint process If you are not satisfied with our response to your request for information, you can request that the matter is reconsidered as an internal review. To do so please write to, or email, the Information Compliance and Governance Manager at: SRA Information Compliance The Cube 199 Wharfside Street, Birmingham B1 1RN SRAInformationCompliance@sra.org.uk Please note that your request for an internal review must be submitted within 60 days of our decision. We aim to issue a formal response to internal reviews within 20 working days. Internal review process The internal review will consider any limitations applied and the information disclosed. This aspect of the review is final and there is no further avenue for appeal. It is also important for you to note that, as this is a voluntary code, the Information Commissioner is unable to consider your complaint. Escalation to a complaint If you are still not satisfied with the response that you have received, you can make a complaint to our Corporate Complaints Team about the way we have handled your request. The Corporate Complaints Team will only be able to review the matters related to our service, for example our communication and compliance with the deadline. If you are unhappy with the Corporate Complaints Team’s decision, you can escalate the matter further and ask the Independent Reviewer (Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution) to review your complaint. The service is independent to us, and they will review how we handled your complaint, not our decision on disclosure."
