Abstract
Establishes a method aimed at defining procedural delays. The time delay in the procedural life of a case under any legal system has been considered as one of the main sources of direct costs and uncertainty for businesses once litigation starts. Yet, no methodology exists until now which is able to develop benchmarks that would define expected procedural time under controlled court conditions. Finds the main court and user‐related factors associated to the times disposition in bankruptcy cases within the first instance level and determines an “ideal” time to disposition within a quality control framework. Considers an applied case using data belonging to the commercial first instance courts in Argentina. The results of the analysis conclude that the economic resources devoted to court personnel, not to capital spending, and an active case management style applied by a judge reduce the median procedural times.

Abstract
Summarizes the main points of divergence between the French EAQF, German VDA 6, and USA QS 9000 standards in the automotive sector and evaluates their possible impact on eligibility for certification under the quality standard of comparison. While particular differences are marked, a converging trend based on QS 9000 requirements is emerging. This indicates that, while at first these developments point at a proliferation of quality standards, international quality standards in the automotive sector are in fact converging.
