Supreme Court of Delaware

One-Pie Investments, LLC, Successful Third Party Bidder & Party in Interest Below-Appellant v. Toni Jackson…

April 24, 20122012 Del. LEXIS 227

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of One-Pie Investments’ petition for a tax deed. It held that the property owner properly redeemed the property because the purchaser received the full purchase price and the required twenty-percent premium, even though the Sheriff routed the redemption funds. The Court also held that the lower court decided One-Pie’s petition on the merits rather than for lack of standing, and that payment through the Sheriff did not invalidate the redemption.
