The Official Solicitor's unexplained delay in lodging proposals was unreasonable given the trial bundle and transcript were provided months earlier and the court's duty to manage cases expeditiously; nevertheless, balancing expedition with fairness a short, specified extension was permitted but subject to strict timetable and consequences; mediation does not require court liberty; formal application procedure is required for extensions.
