 Addressing Constitutional Challenges to the Foreclosure Abuse Prevention Act

Since the passage of the Foreclosure Abuse Prevention Act ("FAPA") earlier this year, plaintiffs have mounted multiple constitutional challenges to the application of the law to their cases in order to save their cases from the statute of limitations. The session will be interactive, and will cover challenges to retroactive application of FAPA, including due process, takings clause, and contracts clause arguments.
