                    2 Compliance with our performance pledges is measured in relation to applications in respect of which all of the required documentation is supplied by the applicants in a comprehensive and efficient manner and in which delays, for which we have no responsibility, do not occur.
                    3 Some cases failed to meet the pledges largely due to resource constraints and/or unexpected complications.
