Laches
Doctrine providing a party a defense when long-neglected rights are sought to be enforced against him. Laches signifies an undue lapse of time in enforcing a right of action, and negligence in failing to act more promptly.
http://www.answers.com/topic/laches?cat=biz-fin
Laches is an equitable defense, or doctrine. The person invoking laches is asserting that an opposing party has "slept on its rights", and that, as a result of this delay, that other party is no longer entitled to its original claim. Put another way, failure to assert one’s rights in a timely manner can result in claims being barred by laches. Laches is a form of estoppel for delay. In Latin,
Vigilantibus non dormientibus æquitas subvenit.
Equity aids the vigilant, not the negligent (that is, those who sleep on their rights).

"laches" (négligence, retard indu)? La doctrine du "laches", qui repose sur le principe selon lequel l'équité s'applique au vigilant et non au négligent, a été définie par Sir Barnes Peacock dans l'affaire Lindsay Petroleum Co. v. Hurd (1874) L.R. 5 P.C. 211.
alors dans ce cas, on parle souvent de:
l'usucapion ou prescription acquisitive, qui est le fait d'acquérir juridiquement un droit réel, après l'écoulement d'un certain délai durant lequel on a exercé de fait ce droit ou,
la prescription extinctive, qui fait perdre un droit réel ou personnel, du fait de l'inaction prolongée du titulaire du droit (encore appelée prescription libératoire)
key words!!
doctrine d'équité, prescription acquisitive, prescription extinctive, prescription libératoire
Hope it will help!
Good luck,
