MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE

Some recent cases have been reported to me which present issues to homeowners in foreclosure.

First, in March 2013, Wells Fargo Bank N.A. v. Meyers, New York State Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department, No. 2011-00482 eversed a Brooklyn judge’s 2011 decision throwing out a foreclosure and ordering $15,000 in sanctions against lender HSBC, saying the judge had abused his discretion by consulting the Internet and newspapers for evidence of “robosigning.”
