Scotland, Judicial Review
A plea of mora may be sustained in an application for judicial review, but unreasonable delay is not of itself sufficient to found a successful plea: "But in order to lead to such a plea receiving effect, there must in my judgment have been excessive or unreasonable delay in asserting a known right, coupled with a material alteration of circumstances, to the detriment of the other party".
