SAFETY FROM AN ACTION FIASCO

In a recent ruling, the 4th DCA held that collateral estopple did not bar a quiet title action between two buyers at auction that occurred in separate foreclosure actions.  Lucky Nation, LLC purchased property at auction after the home-owners association foreclosed on it.  Prior to receiving title, Bank of America (mortgagee) initiated a foreclosure action against the original owners; and, the property was purchased by Al-Maghazchi during an auction on the bank’s foreclosure action.  At the time of the bank’s foreclosure sale, Lucky Nation, LLC had no knowledge thereof.  Upon learning of the Al-Maghazchi sale, Lucky Nation, LLC motioned the Court in the bank’s foreclosure action to vacate the judgment of foreclosure.  The 4th DCA holding that Lucky Nation, LLC was not barred by collateral estopple did not bar a quiet title action was based upon 1) Lucky Nation, LLC did not intervene in the Bank’s foreclosure action (thus, it was not a party to that action), and 2) a motion did not constitute a pleading.   See  Lucky Nation, LLC and Nina Solonenko v. Hassan Al-Maghazchi, No. 4D14-4764 (January 6, 2016).
