On the Criminal Litigation Efficiency and Duration of Action:the timing principle

Justice and efficiency are two values of modern justice. The effective realization of judicial efficiency depends on the scientific arrangement of duration of action imposed by criminal procedural law and strict observance of prescribed time by judicial practice. So timing principle has been a general principle, in all countries, to guide judicial efficiency and period. It requires the control of duration of action, enhancement of judicial pace and simplification of judicial procedure. The spirit of the timing principle has been implemented by our criminal litigation in many aspects, but there are some problems to be solved, such as the prosecutor's unilateral power to extent the term of custody, absence of regulation for centralized judgment, the monopoly in form and limitations on function of summary procedure.
