LIS PINDENS
Manhattan Loft v. Mercury Liquors (PDF)
An arbitration proceeding is not an "action" that supports the recordation of a notice of pendency of action. The proper procedure is for a party to an arbitration agreement to file an action in court to support the recording of a lis pendens, and simultaneously file an application to stay the litigation pending arbitration.
