To be fair, taking legal advice and getting an answer are often a long way apart. I worked with and for lawyers for over thirty years and the only hurrying they did was when they had forgotten to ask for something to be done and they needed me to do it for use in court the next day. Delays may well be beyond the control of BASC.

Anticipation of delay is something I do every single day, If I'm late, it's because I'm not coming. Thinking well forward is of great value.
