Chief Justice Frank Clarke has said waiting times for hearings at the country s highest court are now at an historic low and shorter than in living memory .
The third annual report of the Supreme Court said that despite Covid-19, its work was not delayed in any significant way by the pandemic.
The court switched to remote hearings 40 days after the announcement of public health measures last year. All but one case was heard remotely.
