(a) to ascertain whether there has been any undue delay in the prosecution or conduct of proceedings against any person whose name appears on the list, and

(b) if there has been any such delay, to take such action as the Supreme Court considers appropriate to expedite those proceedings.


The review will be published in the  Daily Court Lists (not in NSW Online Registry)  and generarlly occurs about 3 to 4 weeks after the list provided by the Commisisoner.
