Note:

"The Criminal Procedure Act 2011 came into force on 1 July 2013. It changed the landscape for criminal cases.

New business/"Cases in"

"Cases in" is the sum of cases filed, cases where a retrial has been directed, severed cases and cases transferred into the court. At court location level, they also include transfers from other parts of the country. It excludes cases reactivated in the court due to the execution or withdrawal of a warrant to arrest.

Disposals/"Cases out"

"Cases out" is the sum of cases where sentencing or other final outcomes are established on all charges, cases where all the charges are joined into another case, and cases transferred out of the court. At court location level, they also include transfers to other parts of the country. This includes cases where the defendant was convicted and sentenced or discharged, or the case dismissed, withdrawn, or stayed. It excludes cases put on hold due to the issuing of a warrant to arrest the defendant.

Total active

Active cases are those which are awaiting trial or are awaiting sentencing or other final outcome, and are not on hold due to the issuing of a warrant to arrest the defendant. This includes cases where the defendant is yet to appear in court, or yet to make a plea, the case is in the review process, or the case is awaiting a pre-trial decision.
