Summary

The court held that the circuit court entered a final judgment, but it reversed summary judgment on the ejectment claim because evidence that the foreclosure sale price was approximately 16.6% of the property's appraised value created a genuine issue of material fact regarding whether the sale was void. The court affirmed summary judgment on Martin's counterclaims because his claims against the attorneys were governed by the ALSLA and time-barred, and his breach-of-contract claim against BBVA was untimely or inadequately supported on appeal. The statutory-redemption issue was not reached because the validity of the foreclosure sale remained unresolved.
