La «litispendance» est la circonstance qui se présente lorsque : deux juridictions de même degré ont été saisies du même litige alors qu'elles sont également compétentes pour connaître de l'affaire. Lorsque des affaires ont été portées devant deux juridictions différentes et de même degré et qu'il y a un intérêt à ce qu'elles soient instruites et jugées ensemble, la juridiction saisie en second lieu doit se dessaisir au profit de l'autre si l'une des parties le demande ou à défaut d'office. 2, record 1, French, - comp%C3%A9tence%20litispendante
