Manage episode 497443032 series 2098285
The Minister for Courts says updating procedures for running Judge Alone Trials is a good step in the mammoth task of speeding up the courts.
Newstalk ZB can reveal it'll be implemented countrywide tomorrow.
It introduces registrar-led prosecution and defence teleconferences three weeks before trial and allows courts to start earlier to review and prioritise scheduled cases.
Minister Nicole McKee told Mike Hosking pilots they've run have seen good results.
She says it's based on the need of the trial and the readiness of the person being prosecuted, especially for those sitting on remand for a long time.
