What If Hundreds Of Thousands of Foreclosures In Florida Should Be Stopped Because The Banks Were Cheating?

Or, stated another way,

The banks and their foreclosure mills are cheating, and foreclosures should stop until the courts and other state agencies wrapped their hands around the full magnitude of the cheating.

In my foreclosure files, I’ve found a pattern of conduct, potentially criminal conduct, in approximately 20% of the foreclosure cases I’m defending.

In every case where I’ve brought this issue before a judge, the judge has agreed or the plaintiff has agreed and attempted to cover up their wrongdoing before it’s brought before the court.

If any party comes before a court, raises his right hand and boldly and directly proclaims:

Your Honor, I’ve Committed A Crime, And I Swear This Under Penalties Of Perjury

Can a judge simply ignore this admission?   As Article V officers, sworn to uphold both the Laws of General Application and The Constitution of The State of Florida, the clear answer is:

No, Judges Must Respond to Violations of All Law And Ensure That The Interests of The State Generally Are Protected Even When Those Violations Are Not Explicitly Framed By The Controversy Before The Court.

Put another way, when litigants appear before an Article V court officer and that officer discovers violations of fundamental law, violations that impair a clearly defined state interest, then such officers have a duty and obligation to prosecute the matters sua sponte as a direct consequence of their obligations under Article V.
