Summary
If there is a single common complaint that people, in both developed and developing countries, have when they speak about courts, it has to be that judicial procedures take too long.1 The complaint is not novel, and there is no reason to think that court delays have made an appearance only with the increased individualism and ‘rights culture’ of recent decades.
