My question involves real estate located in the State of: Florida.

If a foreclosure case got FINAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT in 2008 but the house never was sold,and the bank filed voluntary dismiss in 2011,can the bank re-open the SAME CASE,file a motion to revive the final judgment,if the offered modification is not accepted by the owner,today 2012?

If the case was dismissed without prejudice, and there's nothing in the governing statutes or court rules that prevents the court from reopening the case, the court would have the discretion to reopen the case.
