Ep.140 | AI-Generated Defences & Why Lenders Keep Losing in Court w/ Grechi Carter

The Grechi Carter team is back with a new addition, Amanda Deveaux, a 12-year litigation veteran and Ontario deputy judge who's taking over the firm's entire enforcement practice. Dave, Danielle, and Amanda break down what's really happening in Ontario mortgage enforcement right now: borrowers filing AI-generated defences to stall court proceedings into 2027, why lenders keep losing on fees and penalties, and how forbearance agreements and motions to strike can cut timelines down. They also cover what sets the best private lenders apart from the rest, Grechi Carter's new Etobicoke office, and why social media is becoming a real business driver, even in the legal space.Show Notes:1:14 Meet Amanda Deveaux - Newest Partner 3:48 Enforcement Growth & Commercial Expansion 7:24 How Long Does an Enforcement Actually Take? 8:07 AI-Generated Defences Are Stalling Courts Until 2027 9:38 Forbearance Agreements & Motions to Strike 11:16 What Counts as a Legitimate Defence 13:17 Fees vs. Penalties,  Where Lenders Get Burned 16:17 Why Judges Keep Siding With Borrowers 19:17 Why Ontario Needs a Mortgage-Specific Court 33:18 What the Best Private Lenders Have in Common 37:14 Greg Carter Teaches Real Estate Law at U of T & Osgoode 40:44 Bonus: Restaurant Rec, Raptors & Leafs CornerResources:Keystone Capital GroupCPLP Instagram: @cplpodcastKeystone Instagram: @keycapgroupFind Neal On:Instagram: @neal.andreinoLinkedIn: Neal AndreinoFind Ryan on:LinkedIn: Ryan MacNeilE-mail: [email protected]
