It's what happens when the funding for the courts, police and legal services are cut repeatedly in real terms for over a decade and you close down the actual court rooms etc.

IIRC there are serious cases (rape etc) that are currently waiting 2-3 years or more because basically the courts and CPS have been effectively gutted by the government "efficiency savings" and the likes of Barristers who left the profession or refuse to take on CPS cases because they actually lose money on them (IIRC they're paid by the hour spent in court or something, and that has to cover all their expenses including their staff, so the Sun etc like to talk about them costing £2k a day but don't like to mention that's really paying for several days worth of work by several people, and that a plumber can earn £500 a day with far fewer overheads and ongoing costs)
