SHERIFF'S SALES
Lang v. Roche (PDF)
Plaintiff sought to set aside a Sheriff's sale arising from the execution on a judgment rendered in another action. Defendant had obtained that judgment by default after service by publication even though plaintiff was defendant's next door neighbor and could easily be found. The court set the sale aside, holding that even though C.C.P. 701.780 provides that an execution sale is absolute and cannot be set aside, that statute does not eliminate plaintiff's right of equitable redemption where the judgment is void due to lack of personal jurisdiction.
Cal.App. 2nd Dist. (B222885) 11/29/11
