Landmark Mortgage Fraud Case Resurrected in Florida
abajournal.com: According to this article, a landmark Florida case will be heard this week by the Florida Supreme Court. The Court weighed in on its reasoning for hearing a twice-dismissed action:
“The question certified to us by the Fourth District Court of Appeal in this case transcends the individual parties to this action because it has the potential to impact the mortgage foreclosure crisis throughout this state and is one on which Florida’s trial courts and litigants need guidance,” the supreme court wrote. “The legal issue also has implications beyond mortgage foreclosure actions. Because we agree with the Fourth District that this issue is indeed one of great public importance and in need of resolution by this court, we deny the parties’ request to dismiss this proceeding.”
