I wish to make several more points before I conclude. Obviously delays can be caused by a number of factors. A delay can be caused by a simple complexity and it may not be unreasonable. A delay can be caused by the resourcing issues we touched upon. In some instances, delays can be caused by a judge not discharging his or her responsibilities adequately or quickly enough. This question is addressed to FLAC and the Bar Council. Are there areas the Courts Service or the Legislature need to address in terms of the administration of the courts? Are there systematic improvements that can be made to the effectiveness of the courts in dealing with cases, aside from resourcing?
