Florida Supreme Court Case May Impact Homeowner Foreclosures Nationwide

The Florida Supreme Court heard arguments this month in a landmark lawsuit that could undo hundreds of thousands of foreclosures and open up banks to severe financial penalties. The case in review, Roman Pino v. Bank of New York Mellon, was part of the 2010 “robo-signing” scandal.

The court is deciding whether banks that used fraudulent documents to file foreclosure lawsuits can dismiss the cases and re-file them later with different paperwork. In other words, can a judge revive a dropped case when the plaintiff is suspected of fraud? Does a plaintiff’s right to drop a case trumps the court’s obligation to penalize for fraud?

The decision, which is expected later this year, could affect hundreds of thousands of homeowners in Florida, and could also influence judges in the other 26 states that require lawsuits in foreclosures.

It is imperative that homeowners and businesses facing foreclosure (http://www.kaliskleiman.com/Foreclosure) or that have been evicted from their home, seek sound legal advice and counsel.
