This approach has enabled us to reduce the number of outstanding Crown Court cases by almost 40% since 2014.<\/p> We keep sitting days under constant review and in November allocated an extra 700 days to the Crown Court for this financial year, in response to an increase in cases coming to court.<\/p> Notes:<\/strong><\/p> <\/p>"}
