Delay is disapproved of in law.

Explanation

The law censures unreasonable delay in the assertion of rights and the prosecution of remedies — he who delays without cause forfeits the law's sympathy and may forfeit the right itself.

Where this applies

• Unreasonable delay in pursuing my case is hurting my chances.
• The law disapproves of unnecessary delays in asserting rights.
• Waiting too long without good reason weakens your legal position.
