[edit] Scope
the doctrine of laches seems only applicable in common law countries, is it so? China has a different legal system, will the research on laches meaningful?
In civil law systems similar equitable principles may have evolved, though not under the same type of terminology or typology. If a judge has the power to issue orders the question of one's right to ask the judge to order or prohibit someone from doing something after a period of time has lapsed is a valid question, no?
