Hi
I just want to say that I have done more investigating into bringing in Statutory Time Limits (STL) for police investigations and PPS decision making. I contacted the Member of the Local Assembly (MLA) who was once Justice Minister here in Northern Ireland. He recognised that multiple reports had been done that recommended bring in STL. It appears that a trial was run in the a local town of Newtowards to bring in STL. Unfortunately it was discovered that the PSNI and PPS didn't have the required resources to complete their tasks in time. Therefore the Justice System in Northern Ireland just gave up and said we can't do it because we don't have the resources to do it and don't have the money to put them into place. In other words we know taking 12 months + on a case is wrong but there is nothing we can do about it.
Do we have any legal brains on the forum that can say whither I can ask for a judicial review of the decision.
