Calaveras II, LLC v. Eastside Bend, LLC — Lis Pendens Misdescribing the Object of Suit Is Invalid; ORS 205.470 Damages Run Per Lot
The Oregon Court of Appeals affirmed the striking of lis pendens notices as invalid encumbrances under ORS 205.460 because the notices falsely identified the object of the suit as enforcing a CC&R lien that did not exist, and held that the $5,000 minimum statutory penalty under ORS 205.470 applies on a per-lot basis when an invalid encumbrance clouds multiple individually titled parcels.
