Wells Fargo N.A. came out on the winning side of a foreclosure appeal after the Fourth District Court of Appeal ruled Broward Circuit Judge Kathleen Ireland violated its due process rights with an involuntarily dismissal.

The bank appealed a final judgment in favor of homeowners Alfredo, Alexandra and Magaly Gonzalez, who won at trial on arguments they had already settled with the lender under a general release that relieved them of litigation.
