A quick definition of lite pendente:

Term: Lite Pendente

Definition: Lite pendente means "while the action is pending" in Latin. It refers to a situation where a legal case is ongoing, and the outcome of the case will determine the outcome of a related matter. For example, if someone is waiting for a court decision on a property dispute, they may not be able to sell or transfer the property until the case is resolved. This is also known as pendente lite.

A more thorough explanation:

Lite pendente is a Latin term that means "while the action is pending." It refers to a situation where a legal case is ongoing, and the outcome of the case will determine the outcome of another matter.

For example, if a person is involved in a lawsuit over a property dispute, they may not be able to sell or transfer the property until the case is resolved. This is because the ownership of the property is lite pendente, or contingent on the outcome of the litigation.

Another example is pendente lite administration, which is a legal process that allows an administrator to manage the estate of a deceased person while a will contest or other legal dispute is ongoing.

The examples illustrate the definition of lite pendente by showing how a legal case can impact other matters. In both cases, the outcome of the litigation is uncertain, and until it is resolved, other actions must be put on hold or managed in a specific way. This is because the outcome of the case will determine the rights and obligations of the parties involved.
