Henry W. Crane, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Mary Bielski, Widow, and Genevieve Bush, Unmarried, Defendants-Appellants…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated the trial court's order setting aside a foreclosure sale. The Court held that a sale may be set aside on equitable grounds of mistake even when the mistake is self‑induced and that inadequacy of price is not a prerequisite. The decision rests on the court's inherent equitable power to intervene where justice requires.
