The number of trial hearings which are considered ineffective due to ‘judge/magistrates availability’ is published by court as part of the National Statistics publication ‘Court Statistics Quarterly’. We are overhauling the Criminal Justice System to make the court process swifter and more efficient and recently launched our ‘CJS Strategy and Action Plan’ which includes steps to address the number of cracked and ineffective trials including increasing digital working and improved case management of files. The proportion of trials which are ineffective at the Crown court has remained stable between 2007 and 2012 at around 13%. The proportion of effective trials has increased since Q4 2010 (44%) to Q1 2013 (51%). See Table 1 for the number of ineffective trial hearings due to ‘judge availability’, Crown Court, England and Wales, 2008-12. The average length of time taken from offence to completion for cases in the Crown court is published quarterly by court as part of the National Statistics' publication ‘Court Statistics Quarterly’. Published timeliness totals relate to all case outcomes (e.g. those acquitted as well as found guilty)—it is not possible to discern the timeliness of trial only Crown court cases from these data. See Table 2 for the average (mean) time from offence to completion in weeks, Crown court cases, by Crown court, England and Wales, January 2011 to March 2013. All breakdowns provided can also be found as part of the transparency files on the Justice website at the following link:
