TL/DR:
Never enough time (for the courts) to do it (foreclosure) right,
always enough time (for the courts) to do it (foreclosure) over.
SHORT VERSION:
Appellate Court (Reinaldo Rivera) thrusts failure to serve notice of motion to appear
a decade in the past on lyceum attorney into the forefront of Lyceum case when he, Rivera, found 17 > 26 & Lyceum had attorney.
CAN YOU GIVE US A CAR ANALOGY?:
NO. But I can give a fish market analogy.
--Hand the wrapped fish back to the fish monger because the sell by date is two weeks ago he goes into a back room,
comes back out & hands you the same package with a new sell by date on it ...
You have __NOT__ lost the right to see if the previously expired fish is bad!!
--That is, in sum and substance, the current Brooklyn Lyceum problem. Lyceum alleged case abandoned (expired),
appellate court does some back room surgery on the record
& comes back w/a case that is rotten to the core.
