Managing Property Law Relationships

Summary

The relationship between mortgagor and mortgagee involves tensions such as the right to redeem versus foreclosure rights. Legal frameworks like foreclosure procedures and anti-predatory lending laws aim to balance these rights. Key themes include equity of redemption and interest rate impacts. Recent cases like Williams v. Kershaw and Palk v. Mortgage Services Funding plc highlight these dynamics. Understanding principles of good faith and fair dealing is crucial. For a training seminar, focus on these areas, using examples and legal sources to illustrate the complexities and legal protections involved.
