The Doctrine of Lis Pendens

The term ā€˜Lisā€™ means ā€˜litigationā€™ and ā€˜Pendensā€™ means ā€˜pendingā€™. The concept of lis pendens is based on a Latin maximĀ ā€œpendent lite nihil innovatureā€Ā  means ā€œduring the pendency of litigation, nothing new should be introduced.ā€ Under this doctrine, the principle is during the pendency of any suit regarding the title of the property, any new interest […]
