Everchanged, Inc. sued Tracy Young, Turner Coves Development and Beacon Group Development, seeking money damages for breach of contract and fraud, and specific performance of an option agreement. 1 Everchanged also filed a lis pendens on real estate owned by Turner and Beacon. Turner filed an emergency motion to cancel the lis pendens on the ground that Everchanged's suit involved personalty, not realty. See OCGA 44-14-610. The trial court granted the motion and Everchanged appealed directly 2 to this Court. Although appeals from orders canceling lis pendens have been reviewed in the past by this Court 3 and by the Court of Appeals, 4 they do not inherently involve either title to land or equity. In this case, the underlying issue on appeal is a legal question, 5 which does not involve title to land, 6 and which can be resolved without resort to equity. It follows that this case must be transferred to the Court of Appeals. Redfearn v. Huntcliff Homes Assn., 271 Ga. 745 (524 SE2d 464) (1999). |
