English term or phrase: in the event that the same is defended or unreasonably delayed

The Respondent shall be ordered to pay the costs of the application in the event that the same is defended or unreasonably delayed.

Can you please explain me this phrase from the "D8 Divorce Petition"? I am no sure about what the word "the same" refers to. Thx

Contextually, there is only solution - the application. There are ony two nouns to which "the same" can refer and the respondent can be only hardly delayed. Not too perfect English, though.

Sorry, the Repondent can be delayed, but hardly "defended".
