Appeal sped up over BofA $8.5 billion MBS accord


NEW YORK: (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday sped up the review of a ruling that moved consideration of Bank of America Corp's $8.5 billion settlement over mortgage debt to federal court from a New York state court.

The decision by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York could help Bank of America, which intended the accord to address much of its remaining legal liability from its 2008 purchase of the mortgage lender Countrywide Financial Corp.
