[TIMING] - How long does a criminal proceeding last?

The duration of a criminal proceeding can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the stage of the proceeding, the competent court, and the individual magistrate assigned to the case. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately estimate the duration in advance. However, if the data available to us allows, we will do our best to provide you with an estimated timeline and update our forecasts as the case conditions evolve.

N.B.: Some aggregated statistics on judicial proceedings are available on the Ministry of Justice website
