Florida’s Second District Court of Appeals continues to hammer away at the foreclosure mills…..read on…..
At oral argument, the bank’s attorney tried to justify this improper filing due
to the vast volume of foreclosure cases in the judicial system. While this court is well
aware of the volume of these cases, that circumstance is not a matter that relieves the
bank and its attorneys of their obligation to file pleadings that are adequately supported
by a reasonable investigation prior to suit. If anything, the volume of these cases and
the obvious detrimental effect that such volume has upon the legal system should be a
factor requiring attorneys who file the actions to engage in a higher degree of
professionalism.
