About This Course
The Foreclosure Abuse Prevention Act (FAPA) was enacted by the New York State Legislature to correct perceived manipulations of the statute of limitations in foreclosure actions pending in New York State. In this course, FAPA is discussed in relation to how it affects various provisions of the CPLR, the RPAPL and GOL.
In addition, FAPA has been challenged as unconstitutional on various grounds: including substantive due process, contracts clause and separation of powers. These constitutional challenges are discussed in the context of this evolving area of the law.
