Supreme Court of Delaware

Bailey v. the Bank of New York Mellon

November 7, 2016

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of the Baileys’ motion to vacate a mortgage-foreclosure default judgment. The court held that the Superior Court acted within its discretion because the Baileys had notice of the action and judgment, waited more than six years to appear, and offered no meritorious basis for reopening the judgment.
