A record is retained of all cases that have been lodged with the courts and of their progress through the court system. When the court determines that a case is ready to proceed to trial, it is immediately listed for trial. ‘Listing’ means that a date and time are allocated for the hearing of the trial.
There are no cases left ‘…awaiting the scheduling of a trial date…’ therefore the court does not keep statistics on the number of cases awaiting the scheduling of a trial date. The court keeps statistics on the number of cases that have been listed for a trial date.
