Three cheers for this Judge who, as I read in today's NYLJ, actually cancelled a bank's mortgage due to its duplicitous conduct in foreclosure proceedings. Here are some highlights from the LJ article:

A lender's "unconscionable, vexatious and opprobrious" conduct in attempting to foreclose on a Long Island home has prompted a state judge to cancel the mortgage on the property.

And he said that he found it "deeply troubling" that the bank had spurned what would have been a "win-win" solution for all parties.

Instead of negotiating, he said that the bank had engaged in "harsh, repugnant, shocking and repulsive" treatment of the homeowner.

"It was evident from [the bank representative's] opprobrious demeanor and condescending attitude that no proffer by Defendant (short of consent to foreclosure and ejectment of Defendant and her family) would be acceptable to Plaintiff," the judge wrote, adding that even a "desperate" offer of a deed in lieu of foreclosure was "met with bland equivocation."

The judge concluded that the banks' conduct was "wholly unsupportable at law or in equity, greatly egregious and so completely devoid of good faith that equity cannot be permitted to intervene on its behalf."

* * *
I hope the lower court record is clean, but it certainly is refreshing [and heartening] to see a judge actually dispensing substantial equity to pro-se defendant against a large national bank.

We need more Judge Spinners.
