-Wrongful Foreclosure-
Recently, Yvanova v. New Century Mortgage Corp. (2016) 62 Cal.4th 919, has sparked much discussion. In that case, the California Supreme Court held that in a case where a homeowner alleges a nonjudicial foreclosure sale was wrongful because of a void assignment, the homeowner has standing to sue for wrongful foreclosure. However, Yvanova v. New Century Mortgage Corp., did not address the elements of the wrongful foreclosure tort. The case below addresses the question of prejudice.
"A homeowner who has been foreclosed on by one with no right to do so—by those facts alone—sustains prejudice or harm sufficient to constitute a cause of action for wrongful foreclosure. When a non-debtholder forecloses, a homeowner is harmed by losing her home to an entity with no legal right to take it. Therefore, under those circumstances, the void assignment is the proximate cause of actual injury and all that is required to be alleged to satisfy the element of prejudice or harm in a wrongful foreclosure cause of action."
Sciarratta v. U.S. Bank National Association - filed May 18, 2016, Fourth District, Div. One
Cite as 2016 S.O.S. 2459
