360 Reclaim v. Russell

Summary

The Montana Supreme Court reversed the district court’s summary‑judgment ruling, holding that cleanup costs for the redemptioner’s personal property are not “maintenance expenses” under § 25‑13‑802(3) MCA and therefore cannot be added to the redemption price. The Court remanded for the lower court to determine any applicable credits to Russell and whether his redemption offer substantially complied with the statutes.
