"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5550256\" data-originallang=\"en\">I haven't, and part of the reason I haven't seen that sort of abuse is that for the very serious charges that are set for preliminary inquiry, many of my clients are in custody, and one of their big issues is that they don't want to delay their trials, and getting court time can be a delay. That's why I don't see any defence counsel setting preliminary inquiries to delay matters, setting preliminary inquiries to obstruct matters, or setting preliminary inquiries that deal with repetitive, needless, or useless questioning.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5550256\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je n'en ai pas vu, et c'est en partie en raison du fait que, pour bon nombre des accusations tr\u00e8s graves qui font l'objet d'enqu\u00eates pr\u00e9liminaires, une bonne partie de mes clients sont en d\u00e9tention, et l'un des principaux enjeux, c'est qu'ils ne veulent pas retarder leur proc\u00e8s et que le fait de passer du temps devant le tribunal peut entra\u00eener des retards. C'est la raison pour laquelle, selon moi, l'avocat de la d\u00e9fense ne va pas demander des enqu\u00eates pr\u00e9liminaires pour retarder le traitement des dossiers ou en \u00e9tablir pour faire obstruction ou dans le but d'y aborder des questions r\u00e9p\u00e9titives, sans but ou inutiles. </p>"
