Definitions
Waiting time - in days (including weekends) is only calculated for a registry when at least one trial was scheduled for a future substantive hearing.
HC criminal trials
For pre-CPA jury trial cases that have a scheduled trial, waiting time is defined as the time from committal for trial to the future scheduled trial date.
For CPA jury trial or judge-alone trial cases that have a scheduled trial, waiting time is defined as the time from entry of trial stage to the future scheduled trial date.
Waiting time figures exclude retrial cases.
