• Court: Court of Appeals of Kentucky

• Status: Published

Opinion

Opinion op the Court by

Judge Kobertson:

Whatever we may think of the propriety of a chancellor’s opening bidding when, under his decree, real estate has been regularly and fairly sold at a fair price, the first bidder, having no vested right before confirmation, has no just cause of complaint when, at the second sale, another person bid much more than he was willing to give.

Wadsworth, for appellant. Stanton & Throop, for appellees.

And, under such circumstances, this court cannot reverse the order opening the bidding, but must adjudge that the last sale was properly confirmable.

Wherefore, the judgments are approved.
