How long will my criminal case take?
In NSW, the Courts endeavour to resolve all matters in a just and timely manner but many factors play a part in the duration of the matter, including:
- The Court in which the case is being prosecuted (usually matters in the Local Courts are resolved faster than in higher Courts),
- Whether a guilty or not guilty plea is entered,
- Whether the accused is in custody or on bail,
- The caseload of the particular Court registry in which your matter is being prosecuted,
- Prosecution and defence witness availability,
- Extent of negotiations with the Prosecutions,
- Pretrial applications in the higher Courts and many other factors.

If the Police arrest you:
- Stay calm and do not resist the arrest,
- Cooperate with the Police by listening to their directions,
- Ask to speak to a lawyer before you make any statements or agree to an interview.
