In a recent decision by the Supreme Court of the State of New York in Kings County, HSBC Bank USA, N.A. initiated a mortgage foreclosure action against Jack and Sabah Srugo. HSBC moved for summary judgment, and the defendants cross-moved to dismiss, arguing that the action was barred by the statute of limitations.

The recent decision In re 301 W N. Ave., LLC, 666 B.R. 583 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 2025) represents a significant development at the intersection of corporate governance, commercial real estate, and bankruptcy law. At the core of this case was the enforceability of provisions requiring the independent manager’s consent prior to the borrower filing for bankruptcy. The ruling upheld the enforceability of these provisions, reinforcing the role of structured corporate governance mechanisms in protecting lenders from undesired bankruptcy filings.
