How to read these numbers

Grant rate = granted / (granted + denied) for this nationality. These totals aggregate 2020–2026 court-nationality rows that met the source publication threshold (at least five cases in a court-year), so they are not all-time counts. Court mix, judge assignment, legal representation, and case facts all shift individual outcomes — historical rates are not a prediction. Open a court page to see its judges, or use the AsylumTracker app for judge-level nationality breakdowns.
