Delay delay delay - Part 1

As mentioned in my previous post, I filed an application to vary my ex-wife's visitation rights. The application was filed on grounds that

1. my ex-wife had totally disregarded two court orders issued in the months of November and December 2010 to return the children to me; and
2. the dispicable acts that she committed on the children during that time.

The Syariah High Court had fixed a mention date on 10 November 2011 for me to file in my Affidavit Balasan. The affidavit have been read prior to that and was to be served on my ex-wife's legal consel on the mention date. For reasons beyond my knowledge, my Syariah Lawyer's legal assistant failed to turn up in Court that morning.

That being the case, I told the Honourable Judge that the affidavit will be sent to my ex-wife's legal counsel. My ex-wife's legal counsel took advantage of it by asking for another mention date to confirm receipt of the affidavit. Much to my disgust, the next mention date was set for January 2012. Two months to confirm receipt of affidavit???
