New York State Court Allows Trustee Lawsuit Against DB Structured Products to Proceed

On May 13, Justice Kornreich of the Supreme Court of the State of New York denied DB Structured Products, Inc.’s (DBSP) motion to dismiss an RMBS putback action brought against it by the trustee for the relevant RMBS trust.  The plaintiff alleged that DBSP breached representations and warranties concerning the mortgage loans backing the trust and then failed to fulfill its contractual obligation to repurchase those loans.  Justice Kornreich held that plaintiff’s claims were timely because each alleged failure by DBSP to comply with its recurring repurchase obligation constituted an independent contractual breach that re-started the statute of limitations.  Order.
