PLAINTIFF IN THIS FORECLOSURE ACTION TIMELY COMMENCED THE ACTION PURSUANT TO THE SIX-MONTH EXTENSION OF THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS PROVIDED BY CPLR 205-A (SECOND DEPT). ​

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the foreclosure action was timely commenced pursuant to the six-month extension of the statute of limitations provided by CPLR 205-a:

As part of the recently enacted Foreclosure Abuse Prevention Act … , a new section, CPLR 205-a, which governs the termination of certain actions, including an action upon a bond or note, the payment of which is secured by a mortgage on real property related to real property, was enacted. As relevant here, under both CPLR 205(a) and CPLR 205-a, where an action is timely commenced and is terminated for any reason other than those specified in the statutes, the plaintiff may commence a new action upon the same transaction or occurrence within six months following the termination, provided that the new action would have been timely commenced within the applicable limitations period prescribed by law at the time of the commencement of the prior action and that service upon the original defendant is completed within such six-month period … . * * *

Here, the requirements of CPLR 205-a have been satisfied. It is uncontested that the instant action, commenced within six months of termination of the 2017 action … , would have been timely commenced in 2017, and that the instant action is based on the same occurrence as the 2017 action, namely, the default on the payment obligations under the March note (see CPLR 205-a). Further, it is undisputed that the prior action was not terminated for any reason enumerated in CPLR 205-a. Sperry Assoc. Fed. Credit Union v John, 2023 NY Slip Op 03880, Second Dept 7-19-23

Practice Point: The foreclosure action was timely commenced pursuant to CPLR 205-a, the newly enacted Foreclosure Abuse Prevention Act.
