Cocklal V. Sucklal Case

Improved Essays
The means by which a litigant may challenge a foreclosure become increasingly limited after a sale has occurred. Indeed, “[a]fter [a foreclosure] sale, the borrower is ordinarily limited to raising procedural irregularities in the conduct of the sale.” Thomas v. Nadel, 427 Md. 441, 442-43 (2012) (holding that a trial court may sustain “exceptions to the foreclosure sale on the ground that the deed of trust securing the consolidation loan was invalid.”). Procedural irregularities that may be raised via post-sale exceptions are generally limited to issues “such as the advertisement of sale was insufficient or misdescribed the property, the creditor committed a fraud by preventing someone from bidding or by chilling the bidding, challenging …show more content…
To be sure, Sucklal makes numerous cavalier allegations of fraud throughout her brief. Notwithstanding the fact that Sucklal’s allegations fall woefully short of making a prima facie showing of fraud, see Spangler v. Sprosty Bag Co., 183 Md. 166, 173 (1944) (“[One] seeking any relief on the ground of fraud must distinctly state the particular facts and circumstances constituting the fraud . . . . General charges of fraud or that acts were fraudulently committed are of no avail . . . .”), the fraud Sucklal alleges is unrelated to the circumstances that gave rise to the debt-creating instrument. Indeed, Sucklal admits so much in her brief when she represents that “[o]n January 20th, 2006, the Appellant obtained a loan . . . .” Rather, Sucklal claims the transactions between the original lender and the subsequent assignees were fraudulent. These claims are similar to the ones rejected by the Court of Appeals in Thomas, supra, 427 Md. at 454 (holding that general allegations of fraud unrelated to debt-creating instrument are insufficient to fit within “the ‘distinct question’ left open in Bates[, supra, 417 Md. 309].”). According, Sucklal’s allegations of fraud do not bring her grievances within the scope of matters that can be considered via post-sale exceptions under Md. Rule

    The lawsuit of Basulto v. Hialeah Automotive had its origins in a contract disagreement between parties. The plaintiffs in the case were Roberto Basulto and Raquel Gonzalez, whom were husband and wife and considered by the courts to be “the buyers”.

    The supreme court of Illinois ruled in favor of Rosewood Care Center, meaning that Caterpillar was held liable to cover the costs of Betty Jo Cooks care at treatment while she was recovering. The appellate court held that a promise to pay the debt of another is subject to the statute of frauds, because the employer promised to pay for the employee's care before the debt came into existence, the employer's promise to pay was not subject to the statute of frauds and that the health care provider's complaint was improperly dismissed by the trial court. The rule that is being applied in this case are the statute of frauds which requires that certain types of contracts be in a particular form to be enforceable. In this case Caterpillars argument was that the promise to pay the debt was not with in the statute of frauds, but because Caterpillar had agreed to pay the bills before any debt existed it did fall in the statute if frauds and did not have to be in writing.…

    Umme Habiba Supreme Court The decision of the case Marbury vs. Madison, led to the establishment of the Courts’ rights to authenticate the constitutional facet of the other two branches of the government.

    The policy (or main issue beyond addressing secondary issues such as right to amend a complaint etc.) at issue in the cases of Tenuto v. Lederle (1997) , Safer v. Estate of Pack (1996) , and Molloy v. Meier (2006) is at which length do physicians have to notifying family (hereditary offspring), close associates, or those in contact with a patient of disease transmission; either through genetic heredity or by contact with a communicable pathogen. In all three cases, the policy is consistent as the three cases all dealt with a physician’s duty to warn others beyond the patient themselves- even if it seemed to violate the privacy rules normally expected in a physician-patient relationship.…

    Acting as the judge in this case, we could not have possibly ruled in the favor of Check Investor’s. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which Indiana uses in their own law, was created for a reason. That reason being to protect debtors from abusive collecting practices performed by debt collectors. Just because Check Investor’s found a thought-provoking and ingenious loophole in the code, our judicial system is set up in a way to fend off loopholes that infringe on the overall purpose of the law. This case was a vital keystone that would, and did, dictate how our debt collectors would act in the forthcoming.…
