Well, quite frankly, I think it's a joke. I gave you my personal experience having lived through it as a victim, and quite literally it would have taken 15 minutes to have kept me apprised, to have received input from me, and to have moved forward. It's as simple as that. Look, I don't have a horse in this race. So many of the witnesses have horses in this race. If you're a criminal defence lawyer, anything that makes it more difficult for you to defend a client is bad. If you're a crown, anything that takes up your time is potentially bad, you know? I'm not an NGO looking to curry favour to get funding. I'm just a guy.
So, just commonsensically, bring the victim up to speed, check in, get feedback, and move forward.
