Mr. Hugh Hume:

I am not sure "delay" is the right word. It depends on the case. If a case is complicated as some of those mentioned today, it will take time because it has to be properly considered. Other cases come back very swiftly, however, particularly those involving straightforward allegations of assault or careless driving. There is no figure in that regard because it depends the complexity of the case in question.
