SUPREME COURT SHOULD NOT HAVE CONFIRMED THE REFEREE’S REPORT IN THIS FORECLOSURE ACTION BECAUSE THE BUSINESS RECORDS UPON WHICH THE CALCULATIONS IN THE REPORT WERE BASED WERE NOT PRODUCED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the bank’s motion to confirm the referee’s report in this foreclosure action should not have been granted. The business records upon which the calculations in the referee’s report were based were not produced:

… ]T]he Supreme Court should have denied those branches of JPMorgan’s motion which were to confirm the referee’s report and for a judgment of foreclosure and sale. “[T]he referee’s findings with respect to the total amount due upon the mortgage were not substantially supported by the record inasmuch as the computation was premised upon unproduced business records” … . Wilmington Trust, N.A. v Mahone, 2022 NY Slip Op 04580, Second Dept 7-13-22

Practice Point: In a foreclosure action, if the business records upon which the calculations in the referee’s report are based are not produced, Supreme Court should not confirm the report.
