Click for Ibanez Foreclosure Case Oral Argument Recap

The oral argument in the much anticipated U.S. Bank v. Ibanez companion cases is Thursday October 7, 2010 at 9:00AM at the Supreme Judicial Court, John Adams Courthouse, One Pemberton Square, Boston, MA.

The friend of the court brief from the Real Estate Bar Association is here.

In addition to the merits of the Land Court’s ruling, watch for a discussion of whether the Land Court’s ruling will be applied retroactively, which will leave thousands of invalid foreclosure titles intact, or prospectively, which will minimize the damage of this decision. I’ve been predicting that the SJC will strike a balance by upholding the Land Court on the merits, but applying the ruling prospectively.
