ANSWER Defendants 38 Commerce LLC and Morris Jacobs' Verified Answer

Document 38 COMMERCE FUNDING L.P. v. 38 COMMERCE LLC et al, EF010363-2024, 37 (N.Y. Sup. Ct., Orange County Jan. 22, 2025)
Plaintiff’s claims are barred by the doctrine of force majeure, as the commencement of eminent domain proceedings by the Village of Monroe has made it impossible or impractical for the Answering Defendants to perform under the terms of the loan documents.
The commencement of eminent domain proceedings has created a blight on title, impairing the marketability and value of the property and depriving the Answering Defendants of the ability to refinance, sell, or otherwise mitigate their damages, which should preclude foreclosure.
Plaintiff’s claims are barred by the doctrine of equitable estoppel, as Plaintiff was or should have been aware of the impact of the eminent domain proceedings on the property and failed to act in good faith to mitigate the resulting harm to the Answering Defendants.
Plaintiff’s claims are barred, in whole or in part, by the doctrine of unclean hands, as it has acted in bad faith by attempting to enforce the loan terms despite the significant changes in circumstances caused by the eminent domain proceedings.
The filing of this foreclosure action without accounting for the impact of the eminent domain proceedings violates public policy, as it seeks to unjustly benefit from the diminished value of the property while punishing the Answering Defendants for circumstances beyond their control.
