foreclosureLegal proceeding by which a borrower's rights to a mortgaged property may be extinguished if the borrower fails to live up to the obligations agreed to in the loan contract. The lender may then declare the entire debt due and owing and may seek to satisfy it by foreclosing. Foreclosure is commonly by a court-decreed sale of the property to the highest bidder, who is often the lender. See also mortgage. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Last year, Clarfield's Carbon Mesa sought judicial foreclosure against Shlens, and in June it won summary judgment - meaning Shlens had to pay up on the loan and accumulating interest and fees, unless he wins on appeal. The court also noted that a judicial foreclosure sale may also be set aside if there was an excusable mistake, particularly if such mistake caused the property to bring a much lower price that it otherwise would have. It is significantly less expensive and less time-consuming than a judicial foreclosure, he said. |
