Hawaii Supreme Court Restores Balance in Foreclosure Cases Now that courts are less fearful of triggering an economic meltdown, judges are returning to legal decisions instead of political ones. The Hawaii Supreme Court has taken a major step in that direction with a landmark ruling reaffirming long-standing civil procedure principles and giving homeowners a fairer […]
I know I am going to take some heat for what I am about to say. In my opinion “getting it on the record” is an excuse for losing and implies that the judge’s decision was wrong and can be appealed when in fact the judge’s decision was correct and will be easily affirmed on […]
multiple choice robo-pleading NO PLEADING: HOMEOWNER WON ANYWAY I have held off on discussing this case until some time passed.

The language of the statute bars any such contingency when it says that the TILA Rescission is effective upon delivery, by operation of law. If anyone wants the statute to say or mean anything different […]
Just because an instrument is not self-authenticating doesn’t mean it can’t be authenticated. Here the Plaintiff could not authenticate the note without the legal presumption of self-authentication and all the legal presumptions that follow. And that is the point here. They came to court without evidence and in this case the court turned them away. […]
No two financial crises are ever quite the same. The next one won’t be like the last. But history teaches lessons, and there’s no excuse for ignoring them. Regulators have done a lot to reform the financial system since the 2008 crisis, but they still haven’t fixed the market where the trouble started: U.S. mortgages. […]
