Financial Services Litigation Bulletin-December 2009

Prior to the enactment, a lender could file a civil suit against a defaulting borrower and obtain a money judgment equal to the difference of the amount of the debt and the greater amount between the value of the property and the purchase price at the foreclosure sale.
