First Bank v. Simpson
Supreme Court of Connecticut
Decided April 15, 1986No. 12600PublishedCited by 47 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtShea, J.
The sole issue on this appeal is whether the holder of a second mortgage is barred from instituting an action on the underlying obligation where it did not pursue a deficiency judgment in a foreclosure action instituted by the first mortgagee. The plaintiff, First Bank, brought this action against the defendants, David A. Simpson, Helen D. Simpson, and D. Bruce Simpson, for collection of a promissory note that had been secured by five second mortgages. On cross motions for summary judgment, the trial court found in favor of the plaintiff. The defendants appealed. We find no error.
