Representative Matters

Loan servicer—Summary judgment win

Obtained a summary judgment ruling from a Connecticut Superior Court in favor of our client loan servicer in a quiet title action. On a novel point of law, the court ruled that a prior strict foreclosure judgment collaterally estopped the foreclosed owner from asserting claims to title to the mortgaged property even though, in the appeal of the prior foreclosure suit, the Connecticut Appellate Court affirmed the strict foreclosure judgment after the law days passed and did not dismiss the appeal as moot.
