New York Court of Appeals

Charles G. Landon, Executors v. Mary N. Townshend, Appellants

January 15, 1889112 N.Y. 93

Summary

The Court reversed the foreclosure judgment, holding that the judgment could not bar the equity of redemption of the bankruptcy assignee because the assignee was not named as a party in his official representative capacity. The decision rests on the principle that all persons whose interests are affected must be made parties to the proceeding.
