Appreciate your in depth analysis. Seems there's nobody advocating for the other side of these Orders. Not all landlords have mortgages and not all landlords are giant corporations who can afford to ride this out. The other issue that I am running into is filing evictions for cases unrelated to payment of rent (I have a number of cases where people have rented out mother in law cottages and are literally being terrorized by the tenant in their own home or have rented out their homes for short term vacation rentals) and Judges refuse to take any action on the cases. Seems that all evictions have been thrown into a single basket and there's been no effort to take the time to consider whether the Executive Orders even apply to the case.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Cary<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><strong><span style='color:blue'>Cary P.

(Aside: I also have concerns about circumstances in which the executive chooses or makes it a policy of not complying with/enforcing legislative enactments – but I’ll leave that discussion for another time though I feel it has led to the current state in which the executive feels empowered to practically-speaking ‘override’ legislative enactments).</span><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:navy'> </span><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:navy'>That being said, when the Governor issued Executive Order Number 20-94 (Emergency Management – COVID-19 – Mortgage Foreclosure and Eviction Relief), I wanted to understand the basis on which he asserted his authority to ‘suspend’ a legislative enactment (“any statute providing for a mortgage foreclosure cause of action” and “any statute providing for an eviction cause of action solely as it relates to non-payment of rent by residential tenants due to the COVID-19 emergency”).</span><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:navy'> </span><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:navy'>In that order, the Governor cited to:</span><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:navy'>1.

Indeed, to the extent it is procedural, the legislature never had the power to enact it without the Court adopting it – so how can the legislature withdraw it without the Court adopting the withdrawal?)
