More on Trump Property Appraisals

[shrubberyvaluation]

In short, JE rule requires appraisers to yield to the court. (not that courts have to yield to USPAP)

They have to yield to the court, but if there is an appeals process or something else they can do that through the court. I'm not a lawyer so I don't know the legal basis, but I have to imagine there is some due process when a court is asking for a bunch of unrelated documents to go on a fishing expedition.

I haven't looked into it but there has to be some appeal process. Otherwise vindictive prosecutors can just tell you to turn over 40 years of appraisals and their workfiles. 6 years of reports is different than wanting the reports in question. It is a fishing expedition.

This case has numerous appeals filed its called run out the clock which is what Trump and C & W are doing.

Unfortunately a State AG can and do fishing expeditions all the time. The appeals judges are afraid to go againt their own Stat- AG and so corruption runs rampant in these big blue cities.

So you're OK with him inflating the values for loans and deflating them for taxes? OK then

The scoundrel, and he has to be the first person that's ever wanted or done such a thing...except for every homeowner and most business owner in the US that wants a high value for their refi but a low value for property taxes?

As I read it the appraisers are claiming confidentality. They're trying to city USPAP as a defense for violating a court order, setting USPAP against the law. If so, they can't do that. If they're arguing confidentiality on a contractual basis there will be legal precedents preventing that, too.

If I knock over a liquor store, I don't get to cite a contractual agreement with my accomplices as a defense against the court's inquiry into the matter.
----------------
Now the critics might be right about the AG trying to shake down the appraisers for political purposes, but IRL the legal system does get used that way on a regular basis. Can't stop that from happening unless the lawyers can do so within the letter of the law.

The AG ran on getting Trump legally…before she was AG.

Pretty banana republic … but that where we are without Trump running things in a peaceful, prosperous, no war, well managed, happy and America first way.

The JE rule only says an appraiser must turn over information to a judge if requested.

The JE rules ALLOWS an appraiser to divulge confidential information, it doesn't require it. The courts can require it. BTW, judges don't 'request' anything.

Yep, like every homeowner wants a higher value for a refi and a lower value for taxes. Which is why the lenders pick the appraiser and not the homeowner.

I will bet that Hunter's Laptop is better evidence of corruption than Cushman's appraisal reports.

Amazing how you claim that without ever having seen the laptop's contents - and Hunter is not and never was an elected govt position so who cares oh yeah the RW cares as they want to use an allegation of non proven allegation of paybacks to Biden for political gain. Of course !

There's no crying in baseball. Or politics. Trump had to know prior to running for office that his critics would use the courts on him for the rest of his life.

For the same reason you would care if Eric Trump was laundering $$$ for Trump from our tax dollars. Plenty of the contents have been put online.
