Adult criminal court processing times, Canada, 2015/2016 / by Ashley Maxwell.CS85-002/38-2E-PDF

"Using data from the Integrated Criminal Court Survey (ICCS), this Juristat article examines the time it takes for a charge to proceed through the adult criminal court system in Canada (from an individual’s first court appearance to when a final decision is reached on the charge), and presents court processing time trends over the last decade. This report provides an analysis of the characteristics associated with charge length for both provincial and superior court charges, including the number of appearances, the number of days between appearances, the types of offences, and the presence of a preliminary inquiry or trial. This report will also outline the number and types of charges that have exceeded the presumptive limits and will present some jurisdictional trends related to time processing"--Page 4.
