Scotch Reform To Ld Grenville

Against delay, especially when on the part of the Judge the result of mala fides
he task of applying a finding an adequate remedy is full of difficulty as hath already been observed.
One The first great difficulty is to establish the fact of the existence of the delay: i.e.
of meaning of course the part which is undue.
Unhappily this is a fact the ascertaining of which bids
defiance to all general rules.

Undue delay is a quantity of time that has elapsed
the moment proper point of time at or before which the thing act in question ought to
have been done. This proper point of time by which
criterion shall it be ascertained? Assume at random
consider for argument sake as already ascertained, a
proper quantity of delay, a proper space of time: the
causes by which a proper demand for an extra quantity
of time is liable to be produced, are numerous, and in
many not to say most instances the quantity of time to which the the purpose of the such proper
demand extends has no certain limits. Of Those causes I
have formed as a comple a collection, as compleat as wanting not much
I hope of being a compleat one I have as yet been able to make it, and placed them together brought them under
one view – in the form in a Table.† † Table of Causes of Complication and Delay in judicature
