Supreme Court of Georgia July 8, 1959, 20517 (Welch v. Welch)

*200

Mobley, Justice.

1. The petition is barred by laches of the plaintiff; and the trial court, for that reason, properly sustained the general demurrer and dismissed the petition. . . Courts of equity may interpose an equitable bar, whenever, from the lapse of time and laches of the complainant, it would be inequitable to allow a party to' enforce his legal rights.” Code § 3-712.
