What is the difference between laches and estoppel?
Estoppel by silence or acquiescence: Estoppel that prevents a person from asserting something when he had the right and opportunity to do so earlier, and such silence put another person at a disadvantage. Laches: Estoppel after a litigant deliberately and avoidably delays an action so as to disadvantage an adversary.
