Herald Tribune-
It took seven years for Florida’s court systems to erase a backlog of nearly half a million home defaults left over from the Great Recession.
But just as that logjam is clearing, a pair of recent appellate court rulings could bring thousands of seemingly dead foreclosure cases back to life, all at a time when court systems are losing state funding to process them.
If upheld, the decisions could resurrect dismissed foreclosures dating back nearly a decade, potentially swamping court systems with yet another pool of default filings.
