A quick definition of dilatory motion:

Dilatory motion is a type of request made in court that delays or slows down the legal process. It can be used to postpone a court appearance or to prolong a case. Other types of motions include requests for specific rulings or orders, requests to modify previous orders, and requests for clarification or correction of court decisions. Some motions are made without notifying the other party, while others are contested and require both sides to be heard.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A written or oral application made in court that delays or obstructs the progress of a legal proceeding.

Example: A defendant in a criminal case may file a dilatory motion to postpone the trial date, causing a delay in the legal process.

This example illustrates how a dilatory motion can be used to slow down or obstruct the progress of a legal proceeding. It is important to note that while dilatory motions are a legitimate legal tactic, they can also be seen as an abuse of the legal system if used excessively or without good cause.
