WA Supreme Court judge snaps over massive workload Supreme Court Justice Lindy Jenkins has expressed her frustration in court at the lack of resources, since a fellow judge retired. ONE of Western Australia's top judges has expressed anger in open court at the growing workload of the judiciary in the state. Justice Lindy Jenkins gave voice to the legal fraternity's growing frustration with WA attorney general Michael Mischin, who has refused to replace Supreme Court judge Narelle Johnson who retired last year. That led to Chief Justice Wayne Martin last month publicly warning of a ``reduction in the standard of service provided by the Supreme Court to the people of Western Australia. And Justice Jenkins added to the anger today, as she struggled to find a date in the court diary to sentence one of the state's most notorious armed robbers, Barry Stuart. ``I would love to know what the Attorney thinks I do sitting around in my office," Justice Jenkins said, as she postponed the sentencing of Barry Matt Stuart to October. With the state government under increasing budget pressure, Mr Mischin has refused to add another judge to the Supreme Court roster, saying his figures suggested the court was coping. But Chief Justice Martin disagreed, taking the unusual step of issuing a statement decrying the decision last month. ``The court is already listing criminal matters well into the middle of next year, and it has reached the point where we cannot provide some civil cases with a date for trial in the foreseeable future," Mr Martin said. Justice Martin had already rebuked Mr Mischin once this year, criticising the government's binning of a proposal to livestream certain high-profile cases on the internet. The WA Coroners Court is also overwhelmed with cases following the recent retirement of highly regarded Coroner Alastair Hope. Mr Mischin was being sought for comment.
