10 Ways Courts Could Easily Reduce Otherwise Increasing Residential Foreclosure Case Backlogs by More Than 95% While Protecting Homeowners at the Same Time — Are Any Judge’s Listening?
———————

The size of judicial residential foreclosure case backlogs has sharply gyrated up and down in recent decades in virtually all state and federal courts.

Between approximately 1990 and 2000, for instance, in many state and federal jurisdictions the number of judicial foreclose filings rapidly increased, annoyingly becoming the majority of all cases in many courts, with dramatically mushrooming case backlogs, which forced many courts irrationally to adopt in arguably wrongly perceived self-defense either openly or in effect the “rocket docket” processing of many residential foreclosure cases.

Federal courts, moreover, adopted in response what they openly called a “triage” approach, instructing Magistrates frankly to force foreclosure settlements, Magistrates frequently threatening homeowners that otherwise their assigned federal district judge would rule against them, which is what usually happened — anything to cut their foreclosure backlog which in truth was impeding the time available for all other cases deemed more important by federal judges.

And when Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, in order to save money and speed up foreclosures, instructed foreclosure attorneys by 2000 to elect nonjudicial foreclosures instead, many courts expressed a sigh of relief as if a tsunami had turned away, and matter-of-factly closed their collective eyes to abuses in the unsupervised nonjudicial foreclosure process.

Today in many state court jurisdictions there is emerging an increased awareness of the unacceptable abuses in nonjudicial foreclosure sales as well as within securitized trust judicial foreclosure litigation, with increased appellate restrictions being announced almost daily upon judicial and nonjudicial foreclosing plaintiffs alike, raising the specter once again of increasing foreclosure case backlogs, surely soon to threaten a new self-defensive retreat by state courts away from protecting homeowner rights.

To hopefully counter this likely reverse trend, The Foreclosure Hour presents 10 ways in which state courts could easily cut their foreclosure case backlogs by more than 95% while increasing, not decreasing, protections for homeowners.
