THE REFEREE’S REPORT IN THIS FORECLOSURE ACTION SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED BECAUSE IT WAS BASED UPON BUSINESS RECORDS WHICH WERE NOT PRODUCED (HEARSAY) (SECOND DEPT). ​

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the referee’s report should not have been confirmed in this foreclosure action because the computations in the report were based on business records which were not produced:

… “[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” … . We therefore reverse the order and judgment of foreclosure and sale and remit the matter to the Supreme Court … for a new report computing the amount due, to be followed by further proceedings in accordance with CPLR 4403 and the entry of an appropriate amended judgment thereafter … . Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v Dhanani, 2022 NY Slip Op 00460, Second Dept 1-26-22
