Delays in judicial proceedings can occur due to a variety of factors, including overloaded court schedules, insufficient resources, and procedural complexities. These delays can lead to prolonged legal battles, increased costs for the parties involved, and a backlog of cases awaiting resolution. Additionally, factors such as the availability of witnesses, the time taken for evidence gathering, and motions filed by attorneys can further contribute to the slowing of the judicial process. Ultimately, such delays can undermine the efficiency and effectiveness of the justice system.
