UTA will file an amicus brief in the case of Torigian v WT Capital Lender Services. The case involves a trial court awarding hundreds of thousands of dollars in attorney fees against a Trustee who recorded a Notice of Default when the borrowers had successfully contended the note had been paid in full. The brief was filed by Wright Finlay & Zak.
The Torigian case is factually similar to the Kachlon v Markowitz (2008) case in which UTA successfully established a trustee’s right to a qualified immunity for its acts.
