There is an argument somewhere in relation to timeous delays contravening the Human Rights Act, ie right to a fair trial. Can't remember the case though.

Thanks all - I read with somewhat of a chill that 2 years is insufficient delay to give real concern in a case where there is delay between information being rec'd and a decision ... although the particular time period which would trigger concern presumably must depend on the type of issues contained in the appeal.
