Delay and laches barred relief where statutory limitation to challenge an administrative order had expired and the petitioner failed to prosecute an appeal after receiving notice; the COVID-19 stay of proceedings did not absolve the petitioner of the duty to monitor and list the appeal once stays were lifted, and negligent inaction after the stay ended was outcome-determinative.
