The error which it was alleged that the District Judge made was said to arise from a conflict between two paragraphs in his judgment:

However, as the authorities referred to at [8] make clear, the mere fact that delay is unexplained does not of itself entail that it is necessarily unreasonable. There will be periods of delay of a sufficient length and/or due to surrounding circumstances which may lead a court to infer, in the absence of an explanation, that the delay is unreasonable. The District Judge concluded that this was not such a case.
