Kamara further contends that HSBC’s title is void because the deed was prepared and recorded before Kamara’s motion for the circuit court to reconsider the ratification of the sale was resolved. HSBC, for its part, argues that the title it acquired from the foreclosure sale is a valid enforceable instrument that is only voidable upon a finding of a defect. We agree with HSBC, and hold that the title HSBC acquired from the foreclosure sale was not void. Kamara’s argument that HSBC’s title to the Property is void is premised upon the assertion that a foreclosure sale “does not pass title to the property until ratified by the court.” Fisher v. Fed Nat.…

This is a very interesting article and touches on a range topics, from the deliberate undervaluing the arts (and those who profit from it), the happy acceptance of middle class entitlement and the economic costs of controlling rights.

Price controls and restrictions on re-selling would have otherwise prevented him from selling the show.…

The First issue identified was that of whether or not Miss. Seashell is still liable for the $200,000.00 despite not signing the charge on her property but signing to the loan document. In the absence of a charge on the property equates to an absence of equitable interest to the Bank. This therefore means that the bank is unable to exercise its power of sale in order to recover it’s debt in default. Nonetheless, under the law governing contracts, it is established that the bank's contract with its customers are commercial contracts that are presumed by the courts to be legally binding.…
