Scotch reform Delay and Complication and delay Table

Explanation
(f) [Extra delay]

The ordinary or
standard quantity of
delay, (with its insuperable concomitant
vexation, and its
natural and necessarily<lb/.frequent concomitant
expence —) this ordinary
quantity of delay considered as
the standard of comparison
and reference
where any quantity
is spoken of under the
name of an extra
quantity, is no more than a portion
only as such that of a
single day that From a quantity
being mentionedstated
and no more being is stated
from experience as actually allocated to
such a proposition
of the Small Debt Causes such
as forms a majority
of the such causes of all
sorts annually commenced
in England.

See Mr Halton, back in the Birmingham
Court of Cases in Request Birmingham 1797
in the Preface: and as stated
by the highest authority
in Scotland is stated
as sufficient for the purpose.
See Mr Hutchinsons
Book on the Office of a Justice
of Peace &c Edinburgh
1806 (revised by Mr the
Right Honourable Slay Campbell Lord
President of the Court of
Session) <sic>Pref. p. XIV.
and p. 137.

And this proportion of
a day is for each cause
a very small one: not
so much as 5 minutes:
for in the Birmingham Court
130 causes per day were
decided on an average:
whereof but a small part of which number a 2d attendance of either party took place.

Explanation.
(c) [Natural continued] Complication
Delay

Nature
of the del>not only of the Commotion —
causes of complication
and delay indicated in<lb/.this Table not only may
this or that one are
spoken of as they will be
seen to be, so many
natural causes of delay:
and that unavoidable,
i.e. not avoidable consistently
with due security
of argument against considering
the main and
direct end of justice.

But from this is a must not
be inferred, that
whenever any man a certain whenever in this or that
individual
suit any one of these causes
of complication has
place, in that suit
an extra quantity of delay
delay must/will necessarily in of must unavoidably<lb/physical or take place: in the
i.e. that more
days than one will be
in any sense be necessary for doing justice
to the suit. On the contrary,
without producing
any demand for
adjournment not one
only of these causes
but almost any number
of these causes
may have place, operating
to each of them
to a considerable extent.

The only cases</del. causes which
are sure to render extra
delay absolutely necessary
are <sic>Nos i, ii and
being cases the demand for
the delay being in these cases
constituted by the absence
of some source or sources
of evidence the presence of
which is necessary to right decision.
