What does ans and special defense mean in a foreclosure hearing if the motion was made by the defendant?
Question:
It sound like the defendant or the debtor made motion to dismiss for a defect in the foreclosure process.
"Ans" probably stands for answer -- the responsive pleading where the defendant responds (answers) to the complaint.
Special defense might be what that jurisdiction calls an affirmative defense -- something the defendant raises that is a justification or excuse for their behavior -- medical necessity is one example.
