Motion for disbursement of the remaining proceeds after a real property tax-foreclosure sale; Constitutionally adequate notice; In re Petition of Kent Cnty Treasurer for Foreclosure

Summary

In an order in lieu of granting leave to appeal, the court remanded the case (see eJournal # 84028 in the 7/30/25 edition for the Court of Appeals opinion) to the Court of Appeals for reconsideration in light of the court’s recent decision in Kent Cnty Treasurer. It directed the Court of Appeals “to address an issue that it did not address” in its initial review of the case as to “whether petitioner failed to provide respondents with constitutionally adequate notice of their right to claim surplus proceeds.” The court denied leave to appeal in all other respects because it was not persuaded that it should review the remaining questions presented.
