Notice of a judicial dispute pending on the land or property

1. Does your national system admit such restriction?

This land register system envisages this kind of notice or includes the possibility of registering a notice as such.

This registration is called a Lis Pendens.

2. In your system, once registered this restriction, does it block or freeze subsequent registrations (mostly the ones promoted by the owner of the property) until being removed?

Subsequent registrations may be made but they are made subject to the Lis Pendens.

In this system the duration of the registration of this restriction will be indefinite (until removed or deleted).
