4901 A lis pendens may not be filed in connection with an arbitration; filing a lis pendens gives notice to the world that the real property it identifies is the subject of an action in court, so a lis pendens filed on realty that is the subject only of an arbitration makes a false statement and may result in liability for slander of title; the Litigation Privilege does not apply to statements about pending arbitration.CitationMANHATTAN LOFT v MERCURY LIQUORS (Lis Pendens) 173 CA4 1040 [See: CCP 425.16, 22, 405.20; CivC 47; Salma v Capon 161 CA4 1275, T/AT 5/08; Sheppard v Lightpost 146 CA4 315, P/AT 3/07; The Formula v Superior Court 168 CA4 1455, P/AT 3/09; Kirkeby v Superior Court 33 C4 642, P/AT 9/04]
