  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.
