The writ registered as a lis pendens was vacated because the defendant's underlying action against the sub-vendor did not relate to the plaintiff's land or any interest therein, the plaintiff was not a party to that action, the declaration for a lien was refused, and the registration was therefore improper and lacked bona fides; consequently the writ must be vacated and costs awarded to the plaintiff on an indemnity basis (order nisi).
