Do Florida courts afford a remedy of reforeclosure in the event a party is omitted that should have been joined in the original action?
Yes. Through additional petition to the court, the foreclosing mortgagee is able to reinstate the foreclosing lender’s mortgage, declare priorities and reforeclose the property. Sometimes this may result in an order similar to a quite title decree that directs the omitted junior mortgagee to pay all principal and interest through redemption by a date certain or else its lien would be extinguished.
