    Having dismissed the plaintiff's claim, and given that the plaintiff seeks a monetary share rather than retention of co-ownership, vacatur of the lis pendens under ss 19 and 20 LRO is appropriate; a successful appeal would entitle the plaintiff to a proportional share of sale proceeds so vacatur does not cause unfairness; accordingly the lis pendens was vacated and costs ordered against the plaintiff.
