In Los Angeles Athletic Club v. Long Beach (1932) 128 Cal.App. 427, the plaintiff sought an injunction to order defendant city to abate a breakwater which allegedly caused waters to undermine plaintiff's club building. The appellate court held, in part at page 433, that injunctive relief was improper on the basis of laches, in that: "Appellant stood by and did nothing during the entire course of construction and for over six months after the completion of the work sought to be abated."
