Silverman Thompson Wins Dismissal of Foreclosure and Breach of Contract Case

 Posted on December 20, 2024 in Business Counseling, Litigation & Transactions

Homeowners in Florida hired Silverman Thompson to defend a breach of contract and mortgage foreclosure action filed in the Circuit Court for Broward County, Florida. Mark Edelson and Michael J. Levin moved to dismiss the complaint and aggressively pursued their clients’ defenses, arguing that certain key documents were unsigned and therefore violated Florida’s Statute of Frauds, section 725.01, Florida Statutes.

The Statute of Frauds requires specific types of contracts to be written and signed, unlike many contracts, which may be enforced even though they are not in writing. As a result of Silverman Thompson’s zealous advocacy in its motion to dismiss and correspondence to opposing counsel, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the case.
