Procedural Rule Changes Impact

Summary

The application of new procedural rules during an ongoing case can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the rule change. In Kentucky, a new procedural rule generally applies to ongoing cases unless it would not be feasible or just. Contracts cannot override state law, especially if the terms are illegal or unconscionable. In terms of foreclosure, lenders must send a notice of intent to accelerate before starting the process. The law doesnt specify the method of delivery for this notice, but it must be delivered. If the lender cant prove they sent the notice, it may affect the foreclosure process.
