{{ | {{cn}}{{Cite|Goldsworthy|Brickell|[1987]|Ch|378}} is a case on the seldom talked-about topic of [[laches]]. | ||
:“Sometimes [[laches]] is taken to mean undue delay on the part of the plaintiff in prosecuting his claim and no more. Sometimes acquiescence is used to mean [[laches]] in that sense. And sometimes [[laches]] is used to mean acquiescence in its proper sense, which involves a standing by so as to induce the other party to believe that the wrong is assented to. In that sense it has been observed that acquiescence can bear a close resemblance to [[promissory estoppel]].” (410A-C) | |||
