LITIGIOSITY, Scottish law. The pendency of a suit; it is an implied
prohibition of alienation to the disappointment of an action, or of
diligence, the direct object of which is to obtain possession, or to acquire
the property of a particular subject. The effect of it is analogous to that
of inhibition. (q.v.) 2 Bell's Com. 152, 5th ed. Vide Lis Pendens.
