The Chief District Court Judge says there's a definite commitment across the justice sector to reducing court delays. 

He wants to introduce timeframe goals based on the seriousness of the crime. 

For the least serious category which can only result in fines or community sentences the aim is six months. 

Chief District Court Judge Heemi Taumaunu told Mike Hosking that they'll be looking to make best use of resources they currently have.
