Note(s):
(1) Since 2007 onwards, data on cases in the first instance courts began to be collected from the courts computer system, representing the position of cases registered in the system. The average duration of completed cases corresponds to the time that elapses between the day the case enters the court and the day when a final decision is pronounced (judgment, sentence or order). The average duration of concluded cases takes into account the total duration of each case even if redistributed to other or others first instance courts, i.e., between the starting and the final decision dates of the case, independently of the number of the first instance courts involved.
(2) The average duration of declarative actions includes divorces processes, inventories processes, insolvencies processes, bankruptcy and recovery company good as special processes of revitalization. The transferred cases, attached, incorporated or joined to other procedures as well as those sent to another entity are not comprised in the given data.
