 Life After Engel: Limitations on the Statute of Limitations in Residential Foreclosures

The Court of Appeals’ recent decision in Freedom Mortgage v. Engel significantly changed the statute of limitations landscape in mortgage foreclosure cases in New York. This session will analyze the decision and the scope of its impact, and will discuss strategies that advocates can use to best position their cases in the post-Engel world. Note: This session is not a comprehensive update or introduction on statute of limitations issues in foreclosure cases—it is devoted to analyzing Engel and developing strategies in light of Engel, and basic familiarity with statute of limitations principles as applied to foreclosure cases is presumed.
