In cases where more than ONE judge is in a hearing, the Court data includes all names in the field ‘before_honourable_judges’. Where possible, the parsing mechanism breaks that into up to five separate Judge names and puts them into the above data attributes.

This happens correctly where Judge names are separated by comma – that’s maybe 50% of the cases. Where not possible, the full ‘before_honourable_judges’ column data is copied into ‘before_honourable_judge_one’.
