Bechamps v. 1190 Augustine Herman, LC

EYLER, JAMES R., J.

This is an appeal from an order by the Circuit Court for Cecil County, staying a non-residential real estate foreclosure proceeding, brought by Anne-Therese Bechamps as substitute trustee, appellant, against 1190 Augustine Herman, LC (“1190”), debtor.
