Using the data of the court staff in judicial bodies and the staff status

contained in statistics reports, three indicators have been prepared on the

staff status, applied to every professional status. These indicators are as

follows:

Percentage of coverage by non-permanent staff (PCNP):

Relationships between the number of days in which positions of a concrete

professional status have been occupied by non-permanent staff members,

and the total of those professional status members, multiplied by 365.

This is expressed as a percentage.

Percentage of non-covered days (PNCD): Relationships between the

number of days in which positions of a concrete professional status have

been uncovered, and the number of those professional status members,

multiplied by 365. This is expressed as a percentage.

Rotation index (RI): Relationships between of number of investitures

both of permanent positions and others, and the staff allocated for that

professional status. This is a measurement of the stability of the staff.

Judgement rate: Relationship between the number of judgements and the number of resolved cases. Data is shown by percent

Congestion rate. A quotient where the numerator is the sum of the pending and incoming cases at the beginning of the period and the denominator is the number of resolved cases during that period.

ESTIMATED LENGTH OF PROCEEDINGS

the Judiciary. Judicial Statistics: Incoming cases, resolved cases and pending proceedings at the

beginning of every period of time. It offers an estimation of the average length of the cases

ended in each period. Length is stated in months.
