Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Laches consists of an inexcusable delay which prejudices the CT Page 4547 defendant . . . [and consists of two elements]. First, there must have been a delay that was inexcusable, and second, that delay must have prejudiced the defendant . . . . Absent prejudice to the defendant, the mere lapse of time does not constitute laches.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[t]he mere lapse of time does not constitute laches unless it results in prejudice to the defendant as where, for example, the defendant is led to change his position with respect to the matter in question.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“A conclusion that a delay of nearly fifteen years in asking for this type of relief constituted laches is not unreasonable and therefore it is not erroneous.”
