MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF
PLAIlVTIFF'S MOTION TO REASSESS DAMAGES
I. BACKGROUND OF CASE
Defendants executed a Promissory Note agreeing to pay principal, interest, late charges, real estate
taxes, hazard insurance premiums, and mortgage insurance premiums as these sums became due. Plaintiff s
Note was secured by a Mortgage on the Property located at 422 Valley Street, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055. The
Mortgage indicates that in the event a default in the mortgage, Plaintiff may advance any necessary sums,
including taxes, insurance, and other items, in order to protect the security of the Mortgage.
In the instant case, Defendants defaulted under the Mortgage by failing to tender numerous, promised
monthly mortgage payments. Accordingly, after it was clear that the default would not be cured, Plaintiff
commenced the instant mortgage foreclosure action. Judgment was subsequently entered by the Court, and the
Property is currently scheduled for Sheriffs Sale.
Because of the excessive period of time between the initiation of the mortgage foreclosure action, the
entry of judgment and the Sheriffs Sale date, damages as previously assessed are outdated and need to be
adjusted to include current interest, real estate taxes, insurance premiums, costs of collection, and other
expenses which Plaintiff has been obligated to pay under the Mortgage in order to protect its interests. It is also
appropriate to give Defendants credit for monthly payments tendered through bankruptcy, if any.
II. INTEREST
The Mortgage clearly requires that the Defendants shall promptly pay when due the principal and
interest due on the outstanding debt. In addition, the Note specifies the rate of interest to be charged until the
debt is paid in full or otherwise satisfied. Specifically, interest from 30 days prior to the date of default through
the date of the impending Sheriff's sale has been requested.
III. TAXES AND INSURANCE
If Plaintiff had not advanced monies for taxes and insurance throughout the foreclosure proceeding,
Plaintiff would have risked loss of its collateral. If the Property were sold at a tax sale, Plaintiffs interest very
well may be divested, and Plaintiff would sustain a complete loss on the outstanding balance due on the loan. If
the Property were damaged in a fire, Plaintiff would not be able to obtain insurance proceeds to restore the
Property if it did not pay the insurance premiums.
Most importantly, the Mortgage specifically provides that the mortgagee may advance the monies for
taxes and insurance and charge these payments against the escrow account. Plaintiff is simply seeking to have
the Court enforce the terms of the Mortgage.
IV. ATTORNEY'S FEES
The amount of attorney's fees requested in the Motion to Reassess Damages is in accordance with the
loan documents and Pennsylvania law. Pennsylvania Courts have long and repeatedly concluded that a request
of five percent of the outstanding principal balance is reasonable and enforceable as an attorney's fee. Robinson
v. Loomis, 51 Pa. 78 (1865); First Federal Savinss and Loan Association v Street Road Shoppin Center, 68
D&C 2d 751, 755 (1974). The provision of the Mortgage which allows the Plaintiff to recover attorney's fees
in the instant action is highlighted for the court's reference.
In Federal Land Bank of Baltimore v. Fetner, the Superior Court held that an attorney's fee often
percent of the original mortgage amount is not unconscionable. 410 A.2d 344 (Pa. Super. 1979). Recently, the
Superior Court cited Fetner in confirming that an attorney's fee often percent included in the judgment in
mortgage foreclosure action was reasonable. Citicorp v. Morrisville Hampton Realty, 662 A.2d 1120 (Pa.
Super. 1995). Importantly, Plaintiff recognizes this Honorable Court's equitable authority to set attorney's fees
and costs as it deems reasonable.
V. LEGAL ARGUMENT TO AMEND PLAINTIFF'S IN REM JUDGMENT
It is settled law in Pennsylvania that the Court may exercise its equitable powers to control the
enforcement of a judgment and to grant any relief until that judgment is satisfied. 20 P.L.E., Judgments § 191.
S~henson v. Butts, 187 Pa.Super. 55, 59, 142 A.2d 319, 321 (1958), Chase Home Mortgage Corporation of
the Southwest v. Good, 537 A.2d 22, 24 (Pa.Super. 1988).
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania recognized in Landau v. Western Pa. Nat. Bank, 445 Pa. 117, 282
A.2d 335 (1971), that the debt owed on a Mortgage is subject to change and, in fact, can be expected to change
from day to day because the bank must advance sums in order to protect its collateral. Because a Mortgage lien
is not extinguished until the debt is paid, Plaintiff must protect its collateral up until the date of sale. Beckman
v. Altoona Trust Co., 332 Pa. 545, 2 A.2d 826 (1939). Because a judgment in mortgage foreclosure is strictly
in rem, it is critical that the judgment reflect those amounts expended by the Plaintiff in protecting the property.
Meco Reality Company v. Burns, 414 Pa. 495, 200 A.2d 335 (1971). Plaintiff submits that if it goes to sale
without the requested amended judgment, and if there is competitive bidding for the Property, Plaintiff will
suffer a significant loss in that it would not be able to recoup monies it advanced to protect its interests.
Conversely, amending the in rem judgment will not be detrimental to Defendants as it imputes no personal
liability.
In B.C.Y. v. Bukovich, the Pennsylvania Superior Court reiterated its long standing rule that a Court
has the inherent power to correct a judgment to conform to the facts of a case. 257 Pa. Super. 157, 390 A.2d
276 (1978). In the within case, the amount of the original judgment does not adequately reflect the additional
sums due on the Mortgage due to Defendants' failure to tender payments during the foreclosure proceeding and
the advances made by the mortgage company. The Mortgage plainly requires the mortgagors to tender to the
mortgagee monthly payments of principal and interest until the Promissory Note accompanying the Mortgage
is paid in full. The mortgagors are also required to remit to the mortgagee sufficient sums to pay monthly
mortgage insurance premiums, fire insurance premiums, taxes and other assessments relating to the Property.
The mortgagors have breached the terms of the Mortgage, and Plaintiff has been forced to incur significant
unjust fmancial losses on this loan.
VI. CONCLUSION
Therefore, Plaintiff respectfully submits that if the enforcement of its rights is delayed by legal
proceedings, and such delays require the mortgagee to expend additional sums provided for by the Mortgage,
then the expenses necessarily become part of the mortgagee's lien and should be included in the judgment.
Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court grant its Motion to Reassess Damages.
Plaintiff submits that it has acted in good faith in maintaining the Property in accordance with the Mortgage,
and has relied on terms of the Mortgage with the understanding that it would recover the monies it expended to
protect its collateral.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court amend the judgment as
requested.
