A judge in St. Louis city has halted enforcement of the city's new foreclosure mediation ordinance.
Robert Dierker issued the temporary restraining order today, which prohibits any city officials from enforcing the ordinance. Dierker does take care to note that voluntary participation in mediation is still allowed. A hearing on a preliminary injunction is scheduled for March 20.
