“The clock starts to run, so we have told the public that in 14 days the DPP’s advice will be out. So the clock doesn’t stop running after the legal advice, it continues to run to show how long trial commenced, how long trial was concluded, and this process is electronic,” he said.

According to him, the technology will enable prosecution to be more efficient and would also eliminate the awaiting trial syndrome.
