District of Columbia Redevelopment Land Agency v. Dowdey

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding an undisputed oral contract between an attorney and his clients that the attorney would be paid out of the recovered funds sufficient to support an equitable lien
• rejecting claim of privity absent mutual or successive relationship to the same property
• finding a fifteen-year statute of limitations because the lien “attached to the [Plaintiff’s] share of the condemnation proceeds rather than to the property that 4 was the subject of the condemnation proceedings. The lien was explicitly on land, not any structure on the land.”
