Pierre H. Thoden d/b/a ETC FBO Pierre H. Thoden IRA 47473 v. Deborah Hallford

Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court affirmed most of the chancery court’s judgment concerning damages arising from a void tax sale, but reversed and rendered the denial of reimbursement for post-sale taxes Thoden paid on the property. The court held that Thoden was entitled to the purchase-price refund, statutory interest, the clerk’s-conveyance expense, and reimbursement for post-sale taxes, but not interest on the conveyance expense or reimbursement for optional repairs, improvements, and maintenance. The court also upheld the $4,500 set-off for rent collected by Thoden and the admission of his deposition.
