RETROACTIVE APPLICATION OF THE FORECLOSURE ABUSE PROTECTION ACT (FAPA) DOES NOT VIOLATE THE TAKINGS CLAUSE OF THE US AND NY CONSTITUTIONS (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined retroactive application of the Foreclosure Abuse Prevention Act (FAPA) does not violate the Takings Clause of the US and NY Constitutions. The Court of Appeals has already ruled that retroactive application of FAPA does not violate due process or the Contract Clause:

“Those who do business in [a] regulated field cannot object if the legislative scheme is buttressed by subsequent amendments to achieve the legislative end” … Federal Natl. Mtge. Assn. v Marshall, 2026 NY Slip Op 00946, Third Dept 2-19-26
