Florida Judges, Finding Bank Fraud, Increasingly Side With Foreclosed Homeowners

Finding Bank Fraud, Florida Judges Side With Foreclosed Homeowners

Angry and exasperated by faulty foreclosure documents, judges throughout Florida are hitting back by increasingly dismissing cases and boldly accusing lawyers of "fraud upon the court."

A Palm Beach Post review of cases in state and appellate courts found judges are routinely dismissing cases for questionable paperwork.
