A more thorough explanation: Laches is a legal doctrine that refers to the unreasonable delay in asserting a legal right or claim, which results in a disadvantage to the opposing party. It is often used as a defense in legal proceedings to argue that a claim should be barred due to the delay in asserting it.
Example: The plaintiff’s claim was dismissed due to laches, as they unreasonably delayed in asserting their rights, causing prejudice to the defendant.
