Definitions

New Business

New business includes cases filed with indictable laid charges, cases where there has been an election of jury trial, cases where a rehearing has been directed, severed cases and the difference between cases transferred into and out of the court. It excludes cases reactivated in the court due to the execution or withdrawal of a warrant to arrest.

Disposals

The sum of cases disposed or committal for trial, where disposal for a given case was counted at the completion of sentencing or final outcome. This definition recognises a pre-committal case as disposed when final outcomes are established on all indictable laid and elected case charges prior to committal for trial.

Total Active

Total active means that the case is able to be progressed as at least one case defendant is not subject to an outstanding warrant.
