Lee suit to fight foreclosure fees
10/28/2010 © Ft. Myers News-Press
Three Lee County property owners who say they are being priced out of the court system will file a lawsuit today against top Florida officials, arguing a 2009 law that raised the cost of foreclosure lawsuit filings is unconstitutional.
The lawsuit will be filed in federal court in Fort Myers on behalf of Kevin Camm, Enneis Haney and Yuyuan Lucy Lu, all of whom are involved in foreclosure lawsuits in Lee County.
The three are attempting to file a class-action lawsuit to stop enforcement of the law.
The defendants are Gov. Charlie Crist, Attorney General Bill McCollum, Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink, Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson, the Florida Cabinet and the Florida Department of Revenue.
