Note:
The length of case is measured by from the first appearance for any charge in the case to the final appearance. A case is one or more charges against an accused person or company that were processed by the courts at the same time and received a final decision. Cases in this chart represent a subset of completed adult criminal court cases from 2008/2009 to 2011/2012. This subset includes all completed cases over this period where at least one charge was drug related and where the case was linked to police records. Data exclude information from superior courts in Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan as well as municipal courts in Quebec due to the unavailability of data.
