Reshaping the

Judiciary Identity

Table 31 uses a different set of summary indicators to
measure this
time interval from another perspective. For instance, for cases determined in the Family High Court in 2011/12 and 2012/13, the typical (or
median) length of time to determine a case was 14 weeks. These median
times compare favorably to the analogous median times for cases determined in previous years, between 16 and 17 weeks. The high level of
performance of the Family Magistrates' Court in this area is shown by the
median time to determination for applications being 6 weeks in 2012/13,
maintaining last year’s exemplary performance. As well, the number of
weeks needed to determine the quickest 25% of the application has been
upheld at 4 weeks in both 2011/12 and 2012/13.
