A Florida homeowner has won an appeal against a foreclosure judgment after he received notice of the trial only after the proceedings had concluded. On October 23, 2026, Florida’s Sixth District Court of Appeal reversed the foreclosure judgment against Robert Dwayne Harris, ruling that the case must return to the lower court for a new trial. According to the court’s opinion available on Justia in Robert Dwayne Harris v.

The ruling restores his opportunity to contest the foreclosure, although it does not itself resolve the underlying dispute.
