On Wednesday, when most people are calculating how early they can slip out of work and begin their Thanksgiving festivities, an awful lot of high-priced New York lawyers will be fighting for seats at 27 Madison Avenue, where the New York Appellate Division, First Department, hears appeals. Billions of dollars of claims for breaches of representations and warranties on mortgage-backed securities hang on what the state appeals court decides about the time limits for these suits. Does the clock start ticking when the securities are issued and representations about underlying mortgage loans take effect? Or does New York’s six-year statute of limitations begin running only when the MBS seller refuses to repurchase loans that breach its contractual assurances? A five-judge appellate panel will confront the issue Wednesday in a case called Ace Securities v. Deutsche Bank Structured Products. The courtroom should be packed with lawyers and clients on both sides of New York’s sprawling MBS put-back litigation docket, who are hoping for clues about what the appeals court will decide.
