This sounds like your relative had a bad lawyer--was there any evidence introduced that this was the borrower's signature? Handwriting expert? Was there any other evidence of the transaction? Hard to say without more info, but this just sounds wrong.
And, I agree with the point that the borrower is a scumbag.

Relative and I are both in CA. The judge dismissed the hand-written promise to pay letter even though the borrower's signature was on it. He denied outright he ever signed it. I know the loaner and the borrower very well so I can say with utmost certainty that the latter is a total jackass!
