SUPREME COURT SHOULD NOT HAVE CONFIRMED THE REFEREE’S REPORT ABSENT A HEARING (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court in this foreclosure action, determined the referee’s report should not have been confirmed in the absence of a hearing on notice to the property owner, TEP:

… [T]he Supreme Court should not have confirmed the referee’s report in the absence of a hearing on notice to TEP (see CPLR 4313 …). Although the notice accompanying the plaintiff’s proposed referee’s oath notified TEP of the due date for the submission of documents to the referee, it did not indicate that the submission of such papers would be in lieu of a hearing … . Further, the Supreme Court erred in rejecting TEP’s contention, raised in opposition to the plaintiff’s motion to confirm the referee’s report and for a judgment of foreclosure and sale, that ” [t]he referee’s findings with respect to the total amount due upon the mortgage were not substantially supported by the record inasmuch as the computation was premised upon unproduced business records'” … . Moreover, the referee’s report also failed to identify any documents or other sources upon which the referee based her finding that the mortgaged premises should be sold in one parcel … . HSBC Bank USA, N.A. v Tigani, 2020 NY Slip Op 03901, Second Dept 7-15-20
