Equitable Remedies in Real Estate Litigation Cases (from Annual Advanced Real Estate 2024)

A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of one session from the March 2024 webcast seminar, 28^th Annual Advanced Real Estate.

Cosponsored with the Real Property Section of the Virginia State Bar

Real estate litigation often involves claims for equitable remedies, including claims for declaratory relief, quiet title, partition, specific performance, and injunctive relief. However, the special rules applicable to these claims can create traps for the unwary. It is essential that the real estate practitioner understands when equitable relief is available, as well as some of the common defenses to such claims. This session discusses many of the issues that arise when equitable relief is sought, including: the inapplicability of the statute of limitations to equitable relief, additional legal relief available under the clean-up doctrine, equitable defenses, and the causes of action for which such relief is commonly available.
