The English Arbitration Committee privately handles appeals (i) from editors who are subject to an {{OversightBlock}} or a {{Checkuserblock}}; (ii) from editors who are blocked for reasons that are unsuitable for public discussion; and (iii) from editors blocked or banned by Arbitration and Arbitration Enforcement decisions. The figures below do not include appeals dismissed without committee discussion/action and which are not tracked (e.g. an appeal which comes immediately after a previous appeal was declined).

Notes
- ^ Appeals may be declined for lack of merit, as out of scope, or for other reasons.
- ^ When accepted, resolution may include overturning a block, offering a standard offer or rope unblock, an arbitrator taking action as an individual administrator or checkuser, or downgrading a block so that it may be handled by the community.
- ^ This is the minimum number of appeals that were open on January 1, 2021. Some appeals considered open at the start of the period were closed as neither accepted or declined after the committee did not receive a response when inquiring if the person still wished to appeal.
