Delay Defeats Equity

Equity aids those who are vigilant about their rights and not those who are indolent. This maxim is based on the Latin phrase "vigilentibus non dormientibus jura subveniunt," which means "equity aids the vigilant, not the indolent." If a person delays in pursuing their rights, only conscience, good faith, and diligence can help them, and if those are lacking, the court cannot rule in their favor.
