It does appear that the developer is trying to make this as complicated and cumbersome (and expensive for everybody) as possible. I agree that it’s unlikely that there was a clerical error that caused all this, but it is possible. Still, he’s dragging people into this and causing them to spend time and money on frivolous claims.
The current owner bought the property at auction in 2018 so the redemption window has closed. Former owners should be left alone, and the current owner has absolutely no fault in this. They and anyone else who has been named frivolously should receive treble damages. JMO.
According to the article, the developer offered to sell the house to the current owner at a discount. The house already belongs to her, not him. Isn’t it called fraud when you try to sell something that you have no rights to? Criminal charges?
I think the developer probably does have a claim against the contractor, and the contractor MAY have a claim against one or more of the others. But the developer is being very reckless with his accusations.
