The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is set to decide whether a mortgagee must issue a new notice of intent to foreclose before filing a second foreclosure complaint after its initial complaint was dismissed.
The case, JPMorgan Chase v. Taggart, potentially hinges on the application of the Superior Court’s 2014 ruling in Wells Fargo Bank v. Spivak, which held that a mortgagee was required to provide at least 30 days’ notice to a mortgagor before filing a new complaint where the mortgagee voluntarily discontinued its original foreclosure action.
