Opinion
January 12, 1995
Although it appears that the parties may have chartered their own course and acquiesced until now in the court's delay in rendering a decision on the post-trial motions by making intermittent submissions on the attorney's fee issue, a five year delay in the rendition of a decision is manifestly unacceptable. Accordingly, inasmuch as respondent states that a decision is "forthcoming," the petition is granted to the extent indicated.
