Bankr. E.D.N.C.: In re McClam- Consent Order In Prior Case is Not Res Judicata in Subsequent Bankruptcy

Summary: In the Debtor’s first Chapter 13 case, the Debtor and his homeowner’s association entered into a consent order denying the homeowner’s motion for relief, subject to the Debtor complying with specific conditions. Failure to comply would result in the lifting of the automatic stay. The Debtor’s bankruptcy was shortly thereafter dismissed and the Debtor refiled.

4th Circut: Sun Trust v. Nassida- Foreclosure Hearing Finding of Valid Debt and Default was Res Judicata as to later Challenges to Debt

Summary:

Sun Trust sued to collect on deficiencies following a foreclosure in North Carolina.  The Debtors raised defenses challenging the validity of the debt and the default.  The Court of Appeals held that the determination of a valid debt and default at the foreclosure hearing was res judicata.    While the Debtors  could not have raised these equitable defenses in the hearing under N.C.G.S. §  45-21.16, they could have raised such  defenses in a proceeding to enjoin the foreclosure under N.C.G.S.
