IN THIS FORECLOSURE ACTION, THE ACCRUAL OF INTEREST SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLLED DURING THE BANK’S UNEXPLAINED DELAYS IN PROCURING AND ENTERING AN ORDER OF REFERENCE (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing (modifying) Supreme Court, determined the accrual of interest should have been tolled during the bank’s unexplained delays in procuring and entering an order or reference:

Supreme Court properly found that the nearly 17-month delay in the plaintiff’s service of the notice of entry of the order of reference entered April 30, 2014, was excessive … . However, it improvidently exercised its discretion in tolling the accrual of interest for only one year, as it should have been tolled for the entire period from April 30, 2014, through September 9, 2015. In addition, the court should have also tolled the accrual of interest for the time periods in which the plaintiff made two motions for an order of reference after its initial motion for an order of reference was denied for administrative reasons … . The tolling of the accrual of interest during these time periods is not … penalizing the plaintiff for losing its motions, but is instead a response to the plaintiff’s unexplained delay in prosecuting the action by failing to promptly move for relief after the denial of its first and second motions. … [A]fter the plaintiff’s first motion for an order of reference was denied in August 2011, it failed to move again until February 2013. After the second motion was denied in September 2013, the plaintiff did not make its third motion until February 2014. Deutsche Bank Natl. Trust Co. v Ould-Khattri, 2022 NY Slip Op 00167, Second Dept 1-12-22
