Is "draught" still used for for things like "a rough draft" in the US? As opposed to a draught in a room, the draught of a ship or its beer related uses.

Green Crayons posted:Yes, but only in "draft" and not "draught" form. Like: "Here is a draft of that motion you wanted." Yeah, just had a double-take reading Agesilaus' post. Draft is what's used in the UK as well for first drafts etc.

Out of curiosity, for this foreclosure defense stuff, what about all the stories about the paperwork and procedures on the servicer and bank side being a total joke? Paperwork robosigned, recreated after the fact and people being told to dump forms submitted or lead customers on etc. Does that not get any play anymore, is it just held as irrelevant or has the systems and paperwork mess been exaggerated?

Thanks EvilJimmyCarter. That's kinda what I figured.mastershakeman posted:In IL, the statute of limitations is apparently so long that it's not even relevant, and even if you lose the note, there's always a lost note affidavit that can be filed instead. When it comes down to it, there's going to be a record of payments, then people failing to make the payment. As to robo-signing, was it ever an actual big deal in many cases, or just something hyped up by the media? That is, resulting in the homeowners effectively getting a free house, instead of just stalling the case for a few months/years? In IL, one firm altered their client's affidavits without the client's knowledge, which resulted in losing a lot of business and having those cases stalled for a while, but that firm's still chugging along and all those cases probably wrapped up by now. Yeah, basically. Last I was checking about this stuff various state attorneys and the Justice Department had lined up a deal to indemnify servicers and banks for past bad practices for a ridiculously low sum considering the damage wrought. A couple of banks who committed the most egregious breaches (or bought the banks who did) did get an additional slap on the wrist but they mostly managed to minimise the fines involved in various ways. Overall nothing really offering proper restitution to the homeowners involved. Strategic industries!

We're rejecting your pleading because that's the color they use at the circuit court ten miles away; our rules specify mauve, can't you read dummy?
