PNC Bank, National Ass'n v. Kusmierz

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of the defendants’ petition challenging a foreclosure judgment as void for lack of personal jurisdiction. It held that the statutory protection for bona fide purchasers applied because the alleged service defect did not affirmatively appear from the record, and that laches independently barred relief after defendants waited more than seven years despite actual notice while purchasers invested substantially in the property. The court also held that defendants forfeited their unclean-hands argument by failing to raise it below.
