[RPPTL-constructionlaw] FW: RPPTL - draft of Florida FairForeclosure Act - request for comments

Fri Aug 12 05:15:41 PDT 2011

Any chance we can add a provision distinguishing foreclosing lienors from foreclosing lenders for purposes of the AAA-like filing fees now charged by the courts in lien foreclosure suits?

CLC:  As many of you have noted, the proposed Florida Fair Foreclosure Act that I distributed to the CLC yesterday for comment contained language which would have repealed 57.105.   See below an email from Jerry Aron clarifying the issue.  Many thanks to Larry Leiby and Reese Henderson for their efforts in quickly reviewing the proposed act and brining this issue, and a few others, to Mr. Aron’s attention.  To paraphrase Donna Summers (arguably the Queen of disco); your CLC is working hard for the money.  Arnie.

My apologies to all, but the draft that was distributed had an error in it and it is likely to get a lot of people excited. Line 20 was mistakenly added by someone outside of the committee. There is absolutely no intention to delete or diminish 507.105. If you have already distributed this to your committee would you please let them know to disregard line 20…pretend it is not there. If you have not distributed it, please let them know in your transmittal. I am sorry for the confusion. THANKS.

Attached is the latest draft of the Florida Fair Foreclosure Act.  The Section's Ad Hoc Foreclosure Reform Committee has been working with Reps. Kathleen Passidomo and George Moraitis to develop legislation to address some of the issues with foreclosures in Florida.  You are receiving this email in your capacity as chair of one of the following committees: 

*	Mortgage and other Encumbrances 
*	Real Property Litigation
*	RP Problem Study
*	Title Insurance
*	Condominium and Planned Development (association liens)
*	Construction Law (construction liens)

Kindly circulate the attached draft to your members immediately and ask them to review it and offer any comments or revisions they may have.  Please compile these comments and revisions and email them to Jerry Aron no later than the close of business on August 18, 2011.  Jerry's email address is jaron at aronlaw.com.  We understand that this is a fast track but the Ad Hoc committee will be meeting on August 19th to discuss the comments and submit any changes to Rep. Passidomo shortly thereafter.

Thanks in advance for your help and the suggestions of your committees.  Regards.  Peggy
