A new trend is arising in regard to the implementation of the foreclosure "rocket dockets", cases being set for summary judgment that contain some form of procedural or paperwork issue. While the problems with fraudulent and improper paperwork in Florida Foreclosure Lawsuits has been detailed by many news outlets and the Jacksonville Foreclosure Lawyer blog, the Florida Bar has just released some of their recent findings about this problem.
According to a Florida Bar News article, 20% or more of the cases set for summary judgment in "rocket docket" circuits do contain an issue regarding the paperwork or the procedure. 116 of the 534 hearings scheduled between late August and early September on the 12th Circuit's foreclosure docket contained these sorts of errors. Many attorney's and foreclosure experts agree that the first step toward combating paperwork and procedural problems is for homeowners to hire a competent attorney to review their cases in order to detect any of these issues. These errors can cause delays in the foreclosure process, prolonging recovery from the current foreclosure crisis.
