For the last few weeks I have been harping on the concepts of holder in due course, holder with rights of enforcement, and holder. They are all different. The challenge in court is to get them treated as different in Court as they are in the statutes. The Banks knew through their attorneys that the […]

Patrick Giunta brought this article to my attention. He practices in South Florida and I co-counsel cases with him. Although there are some errors in facts and I have some differences of opinion with the writer, I think the article is a MUST-READ for anyone effected by “securitization” — especially foreclosure defense attorneys.

bony-v-romero_nm-sup.ct.-reverses-with-instruction_2-14 There are a lot of things that could be analyzed in this case that was very recently decided (February 13, 2014).
