THE BANK’S FAILURE TO ATTACH THE BUSINESS RECORDS REFERRED TO IN THE FOUNDATIONAL AFFIDAVIT PRECLUDED SUMMARY JUDGMENT (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined plaintiff bank’s motion for summary judgment in this foreclosure action should not have been granted. The affidavit of the loan servicer’s vice president (Lee) was deficient in content and did not identify or attach the records referenced:

Lee failed to aver to familiarity with the record-keeping practices and procedures of the entity that generated the records or establish that the records provided by the maker were incorporated into the recipient’s own records and routinely relied upon by the recipient in its own business … .

… [E]ven if Lee’s affidavit set forth a proper foundation for the admissibility of the unspecified records he relied on … , Lee “failed to identify the records upon which [ ]he relied in making the statements, and the plaintiff failed to submit copies of the records themselves” … . It is the business record itself, not the foundational affidavit, that serves as proof of the matter asserted … . Deutsche Bank Trust Co. Ams. v Miller, 2021 NY Slip Op 05690, Second Dept 10-20-21
