Cuyahoga County CP Court Posts Documents re: Proposed Foreclosure Mediation Program

By Cleveland Law Library

On March 24, 2008, the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court posted documentation regarding a proposed Foreclosure Mediation Program. The plan outlines steps which should be taken once a foreclosure complaint has been filed. Step 4 allows for a borrower to request mediation and requires the lender to complete a questionnaire. The Mediation Department would then review both documents at Step 5  and determine whether the case should be mediated or returned for further foreclosure proceedings. The remaining steps outline the process of holding prepatory meetings, the mediation itself, filing of the mediation report, and ongoing assessment and community outreach efforts. Judge Eileen T. Gallagher is accepting comments on the proposal through April 7, 2008. Click here to read our prior post about the Ohio Supreme Court's issuance of an Ohio Model Foreclosure Mediation Program.
