Appellate Division Reverses Supreme Court's Denial

NEW YORK CASE LAW UPDATE
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v Khan, 188 AD3d 952 [2d Dept 2020]
In a rare reversal of a trial court’s denial of a reargument motion on appeal, the Appellate Division reversed the Supreme Court’s denial of the lender’s reargument motion for summary judgment in a foreclosure action, finding that the lender had established its standing to commence the action “by attaching a copy of the note, indorsed in blank, to the complaint”, and that the borrowers’ allegations of fraud “failed to raise a triable issue of fact”.
