Judges Rising to the Rules

Editor’s Comment: Without inventing anything, an increasing number of Judges are coming to the same conclusion. If they apply the rules and deny the pretender lender the benefit of presumptions to which they were not entitled in the first place, the case can be heard on the merits. They don’t need to decide who is [...]

THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE YOUR LENDER

EDITOR’S COMMENT: Here is an interesting comment from Scott Baker — someone who “has no dog in the race.” They paid off their mortgage.

NEW RULES AND OLD RULES

EDITOR’S NOTE: Today’s editorial in the New York Times mirrors the outlook of most Americans. It’s time to pass some new rules. I agree but I think that puts the emphasis on the wrong place. Most of these “new rules” were already in the old rules. They were not enforced. So the first new rule [...]
