No Shalmanese, it’s considered to be very long:
1990 – Writs served
June 1994 – Trial began
December 1996 - Trial ended after 335 days in Court
June 1997 - Judgement

The extraordinary thing for me is that they conducted their own defence and had no legal (financial) aid – some would argue, ruefully, that the former may have contributed to the length.
