3 later decisions quote this exact passage“Regarding laches, this Court has held that [t]he defense of laches will bar a claim when the plaintiff’s delay in seeking a known remedy or right has resulted in a change of condition which would make it unjust to allow the plaintiff to prosecute the claim. . . . . . . The doctrine of laches, however, is not based upon mere passage of time; it will not bar a claim unless the delay is (I) unreasonable and (ii) injurious or prejudicial to the party asserting the defense.”
