Specifically, I am requesting a list showing the number of unique instances (the count of individuals, excluding names) where the following files have been accessed by members of the public, and the dates of each access, from the date the records were first opened to the public until the present day:

​J 82/4137 (High Court of Justice: Companies Court: Case Files)

• ​J 267/821 – including all sub-references:
  • ​J 267/821/1
  • ​J 267/821/2
  • ​J 267/821/3
  • ​J 267/821/4

​I am not requesting the personal identities or names of the individuals who accessed these files, only the numerical count of people per date of access.

Outcome
