Foreclosure turned over Paragraph 22 of the Mortgage
A dispute over paragraph 22 of the mortgage may force banks to make stronger arguments to prove notices of defaults entered.
In this Third District Court of Appeals case, the bank tried to foreclose the homeowner’s mortgage at summary judgment, which entails that there be no questions of material fact and the bank be permitted to a foreclosure judgment as a matter of law – a stage before trial. The homeowner also filed for summary judgment, in dispute that paragraph 22 of the mortgage was not fulfilled by the bank, which involves the bank notify the homeowner of the default and certain rights and defenses the proprietor may have. The bank filed two separate affidavits proving that the paragraph 22 notice of default was mailed and significantly complied with the requirements of paragraph 22 of the mortgage.
