A unanimous decision by the Maine Supreme Court is reversed by the Maine Supreme Court in Pushard v. Finch. The decision involves the proceedures used by financial institutions in foreclosures.
Under Finch, foreclosing lenders will no longer face the draconian consequence of a simple error in a default notice resulting in the forfeiture of its note and mortgage.
Sorry, but there'll be no more free houses if the bank makes an error people. I mean it was a unanimous decision, now overturned. That's unusual. I found a story at the Seacoastonline by Douglas Rooks on January 4 2025, titled Judicial ethics complaints can't be ignored in Maine which shed some light on this case.
For the first time ever, one of its own members, Associate Justice Catherine Connors, has been recommended for discipline by the Committee on Judicial Conduct after failing to recuse herself for an important foreclosure case in which she cast the deciding vote.
I see....could it be she had ties to the winning party in that case?
