Text

No judicial proceeding shall operate to stay the enforcement of any municipal lien, unless the court shall so order, nor unless due notice of the order describing the land and naming the owner shall be filed as a notice of lis pendens in the office of the county clerk or register of deeds and mortgages, as the case may be, of the county where the lands are situate. Amended by L.1953, c. 51, p. 898, s. 30.
