The Criminal Procedure Bill 2014 is supposed to provide for reform of pre-trial procedures. When will we see some reform of pre-trial procedures? Since the Government set up the new Court of Appeal, there has been total chaos in the courts, with people going from one court to the other, with new forms to be filled. It is all about form filling. It is confusing, rather than reducing the load on the Supreme Court. I have very practical personal experience of families dealing with it.
