Consideration 22

Extract:

In assessing whether moral damages should be awarded for a lengthy delay in disposing of an internal appeal, a number of considerations may be relevant. In some cases it might be sufficient for a complainant only to establish that the internal appeal took a period of time that could reasonably be viewed as too long. In other cases the explanation for the delay will become relevant.
