UNDER THE 2022 FORECLOSURE ABUSE PREVENTION ACT BANKS CAN NO LONGER STOP THE RUNNING OF THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS BY VOLUNTARILY DISCONTINUING A FORECLOSURE ACTION (SECOND DEPT).

​The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the foreclosure action was time-barred noting that the 2022 Foreclosure Abuse Prevention Act prohibited banks from stopping the running of the statute of limitations by voluntarily discontinuing the action:

… [T]he voluntary discontinuance of the 2010 foreclosure action did not serve to reset the statute of limitations. Under the Foreclosure Abuse Prevention Act (L 2022, ch 821, § 8 [eff Dec. 30, 2022]), the voluntary discontinuance of the 2010 foreclosure action did not “in form or effect, waive, postpone, cancel, toll, extend, revive or reset the limitations period to commence an action and to interpose a claim, unless expressly prescribed by statute” (CPLR 3217[e] …).  ARCPE 1, LLC v DeBrosse, 2023 NY Slip Op 03498, Second Dept 6-28-23

Practice Point: Under the 2022 Foreclosure Abuse Prevention Act banks can no longer stop the running of the statute of limitations by voluntarily discontinuing the foreclosure action.
