Equitable estoppel precludes a defendant from using the statute of limitations as a defense where it is the defendant's affirmative wrongdoing which produced the long delay between the accrual of the cause of action and the institution of the legal proceeding. Invoking the doctrine of equitable estoppel requires a showing that the defendant's actions prevented timely commencement of the suit
