To reduce the backlog, Criminal Bar Association chair Tana Adkin KC said the government must invest in more legal professionals required to deliver fair trials.  ‘Doing nothing to increase rape and serious sexual offence fees is not an option unless we want to accept that rape and serious sexual offence trials will continue to be delayed for years, repeatedly postponed on the day because there is no barrister to prosecute or defend,’ Adkin said. ‘The human cost for victims of these crimes as well as innocent defendants is beyond financial measure.’
