At DBS LLP, we often act in disputes where parties seek to protect their claimed interest in land during ongoing litigation. In real estate, joint venture, estate, and fraud-related disputes, parties must move swiftly to prevent the dissipation, transfer, or encumbrance of property. Two of the most powerful tools available in Ontario are the Certificate of Pending Litigation (CPL) and the Caution, each serving as an instrument to secure claims involving real property. Although both appear in the title, they are distinct in their legal basis, evidentiary threshold, and strategic consequences.
