In essence, these acknowledgements are consistent with more recent research which has shown that the time taken to deal with a dispute is a, and in many cases the, critical factor in determining whether or not people consider that the justice system is just and fair. This article considers issues in the justice system that are related to timeliness and the interconnectedness of the definition of delay and contends that the nature of delay in the current justice environment is contingent on many aspects and mechanisms utilised by the modern justice system. The question of whether justice delayed is justice denied appears to depend on whether delay is inappropriate, out of proportion or avoidable.</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={Victoria University Law and Justice Journal}, author={Sourdin Tania and Burstyner Naomi}, year={2014}, month={Oct.}, pages={49–62} }
