No one should be expected to do the impossible. If the commission is swamped with applications, it won't be able to respect the time limit, even if the legislation prescribes one. If you want to prescribe a time limit, you could look to the criteria established by the court in Jordan, so a maximum of 30 months to decide a murder case, for instance. I know it doesn't apply to cases under appeal, but it gives you an idea.
What I hope to see is more resources being allocated. There will certainly be more cases, but if more people are handling those cases, the wait times could be shortened.
I want to draw your attention to another important consideration that isn't in the bill. It should address situations where someone submits two, three or four applications for review. Say a person applies once, and their application is dismissed, but two years later, they identify other grounds. Would that person be allowed to apply a second time? Could they apply a third time, three years later, say? The bill doesn't cover situations like that.
Perhaps it would be easy to cut out multiple applications because they would be deemed inadmissible. Currently, the bill is silent on the maximum number of applications a person can submit.
