PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO RESTORE THE FORECLOSURE ACTION TO THE CALENDAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN GRANTED; ABSENT SPECIFIC AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES PLAINTIFF BANK NEED NOT PROVE COMPLIANCE WITH STATUTORY AND CONTRACTUAL NOTICE REQUIREMENTS (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court in this foreclosure action, determined plaintiff’s motion to restore the matter to the calendar should have been granted and plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment should have been granted. The court noted that defendant had not waived the defense of standing but plaintiff submitted sufficient proof of standing and held plaintiff, in the absence of specific affirmative defenses, need not present proof of compliance with statutory and contractual notice requirements:

The defendant’s contention that the plaintiff was required to demonstrate its compliance with statutory and/or contractual notice requirements in order to establish its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law is without merit … . Specifically, the defendant’s sixth affirmative defense generally and conclusorily alleged that the “plaintiff has failed to comply with all conditions precedent to commencement of this action.” This Court has held such language to be insufficient to raise the issue of the plaintiff’s compliance with either statutory or contractual notice requirements ( … CPLR 3013). Absent there being a cognizable affirmative defense alleging non-compliance with statutory or contractual notice requirements, the plaintiff was not required to address those issues as part of its prima facie burden in moving for summary judgment … . In opposition, the defendant failed to raise a question of fact that the plaintiff failed to comply with statutory or contractual notice requirements. One W. Bank, FSB v Rosenberg, 2020 NY Slip Op 08070, Second Dept 12-30-20
