Court figures are only shown under currently open courts. Historic cases that were heard in a court that has since been closed will appear under the court now serving that area (and where the case files are now held). For instance, statistics for historic cases at Otahuhu Court will appear under the heading for Manukau Court (which opened in 2001).
