Note 2.

The number of completed cases in Ontario in 2010/2011 includes administrative withdrawals carried out by Crown Prosecutors for cases that had old unresolved charges.

Note: A case is one or more charges against an accused person or company that were processed by the courts at the same time and received a final decision. Data exclude information from superior courts in Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan as well as municipal courts in Quebec due to the unavailability of data. There are many factors that may influence variations between jurisdictions, therefore, comparisons should be made with caution.
