Parent Company Lacks Standing to Foreclose
The 4th DCA decided on July 1, 2015 that a Final Judgment of foreclosure be reversed due to lack of standing, where the whole owned subsidiary rights to n the note could not be enforced by the parent company Wright v. JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., 4th DCA Case No. 4D14-565 (July 1, 2015). The Court held that absent evidence that the loan was purchased by JPM, it could not enforce the note. JPM did not introduce any purchase agreement or other evidence that it had acquired the note. The Court also cited Am. Int’l Group, Inc. v. Cornerstone Bus., Inc., 872 So 2d. 333,336 (Fla. 2nd DCA 2004) and Federated Title Insurers, Inc. v. Ward, 538 So. 2d 890,891 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989).
