Appeal delay claim dismissed because trial adjournment was necessary for gathering evidence from other courts.

The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiffs' complaint alleging procedural delay in the appeal proceedings. The plaintiffs argued that the appeal trial was stalled without justification, while the appellate court contended the adjournment was necessary to obtain case files from multiple other courts. The court ruled that the time elapsed was reasonable given the complexity of gathering evidence and the efforts made to expedite the process.
