Fifth District Court of Appeals Reshuffles Mortgage Deck
Florida’s Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals added much needed clarity to the question of when a foreclosure action is time-barred by the applicable statute of limitations. The Fifth District Court of Appeals stated, “we conclude that a foreclosure action for default in payments occurring after the order of dismissal in the first foreclosure action is not barred by the statute of limitations found in section 95.11(2)(c), Florida Statutes, provided the subsequent foreclosure action on the subsequent defaults is brought within the limitations period.” [5/21]
