1988P. 8(c), which provides, in pertinent part: In responding to a complaint, counterclaim, crossclaim or third party claim, a party shall set forth affirmatively . . . set-off. . . and any other matter constituting an avoidance or affirmative defense. [Emphasis added.] Appellees argue, however, that even if the appellants’ claim could otherwise be used as a setoff to the appellees’ claim, it cannot be used for that purpose in this case because of lachesl Appellees rely on the principles summarized in Briarwood Apartments v. Lieblong, 12 Ark.

1988App. 94 , 671 S.W.2d 207 (1984), as follows: The doctrine of laches is based on a number of equitable principles, and here it is based on the assumptions that the party to whom laches is imputed has knowledge of his rights and an opportunity to assert them, that by reason of his delay the adverse party has good reason to believe those rights are worthless [or] have been abandoned, and that because of a change of conditions or relations during this delay it would be unjust to the latter to permit him to assert them.
