Need Sample Form
by Matthew Worner 10 Mar '26

10 Mar '26

Hi listmates, I recently represented a defendant in a residential mortgage foreclosure action and won after a bench trial. The judge correctly ruled that the plaintiff did not properly show compliance with RPAPL 1304 (the 90 day pre-foreclosure notice requirement) and has asked me to prepare a proposed order. Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, does anyone have a sample order dismissing the action after a bench trial? Matt Worner mtw(a)wornerlaw.com<mailto:mtw@wornerlaw.com>.

Hi listmates, clients live in a condominium in Mahwah, NJ. Condominium hired a roofer to install a new roof and after ripping off the existing roof, the tarps came loose and water leaked into the clients' unit causing damage to the drywall and extensive mold. Roofer took full responsibility yet refuses to pay for the needed repairs and the condominium refuses to get involved. Clients own insurer is also refusing to pay. Client's wife is set to give birth in 5 weeks and they need help! I know exactly what to do but I am not licensed in NJ. mtw(a)wornerlaw.com<mailto:mtw@wornerlaw.com>. The Law Office of Matthew T.

Question Regarding NY Law and Rule 3221
by Aaron Pierce 10 Mar '26

10 Mar '26

Hi ilaw, Question: CPLR 3211 discusses an "offer to compromise". Here is the link to the statute: https://law.justia.com/codes/new-york/cvp/article-32/r3221/ Is this something used in NY Supreme Court? For example, if I represent a defendant in a civil litigation in a NY Supreme Court matter wherein the lawsuit seeks $3MM in damages, and I send an offer to compromise of $5000.00 even before discovery begins, and then, at trial the Plainitff fails to recover even that amount, does the Plaintiff then have to cover the Defendant's legal fees and court costs of the litigation from the time of the offer forward? Am I reading this correctly? Much appreciate your responses! ------------------------------------------------------ *Aaron H.
