- 5Using an outdated version of the form
Plain English
A lis pendens flags that a piece of land is involved in a court case. If the case is settled or the claim is dropped, the parties must ask the High Court to erase that flag. This form is the written consent needed to do that.
Submission Date
- Filing date: There is no statutory deadline, but filing promptly avoids delays in title registration and reduces the risk of the lis pendens being re‑entered.
- Preparation window: collect IDs, supporting records, and signatures in advance.
- Final review: verify names, dates, and required fields before submission.
