There's increased support for efforts to trim court waiting times.

The Chief District Court Judge has introduced protocols to speed proceedings, including time targets based on a crime's seriousness.

Lawyer Steve Cullen says about 81 percent of cases meet targets, against a goal of 90 percent.

He says setting up some cases can be a challenge.
