PRIOR FORECLOSURE ACTIONS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF STANDING DO NOT ACCELERATE THE DEBT AND THEREFORE DO NOT START THE RUNNING OF THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the prior foreclosure actions had been dismissed for lack of standing and therefore did not accelerate the debt and did not start the running of the statute of limitations. Here the plaintiffs sought discharge and cancellation of the mortgage on the ground the statute of limitations for a foreclosure action had expired:

Because the 2009 and the 2012 actions were dismissed due to lack of standing by defendant, the debt was not validly accelerated when those actions were commenced. As such, the statute of limitations to foreclose on the mortgage did not start to run. Stated differently, the statute of limitations has not expired. Caprotti v Deutsche Bank Natl. Trust Co., 2023 NY Slip Op 05428m Third Dept 10-26-23

Practice Point: Foreclosure actions dismissed for lack of standing do not accelerate the debt and do not start the running of the statute of limitations.
