New York Law Journal | Expert Opinion
By Bruce J. Bergman | October 15, 2019
In his Foreclosure Litigation column, Bruce Bergman discusses a "savings provision" contained in CPLR §205 which has received a helpful liberal interpretation by the Court of Appeals which permits a dismissed action to be initiated anew even though the statute of limitations had otherwise expired. This has the potential to avoid the anomaly of a defaulting borrower otherwise entitled to retain mortgage proceeds with no remedy for the lender.

This article analyzes the decision in 'Cotton v. Roedelbronn', in which the First Department unanimously affirmed a distributive award to the wife of 10 percent of the largest marital asset: a business interest that was actively managed by the husband.

Spiro and Christopher B. Harwood discuss 'National Jewish Democratic Council v. Adelson', in which Judge Oetken recently addressed—and rejected—several challenges to one of those expansive anti-SLAPP statutes, the Nevada statute.
