Legislative History

(1949 Rev., S. 7202; 1949, S. 2971d; P.A. 79-602, S. 79; P.A. 92-38, S. 1.) History: P.A. 79-602 changed wording slightly but made no substantive changes; P.A. 92-38 required that certified copies of certificates of judgment of strict foreclosure and certificates of judgment of foreclosure by sale be filed by defendant on land records. A certificate foreclosure merely evidential of title. 111 C. 507. Where defendant owner redeems, title need not become absolute in defendant owner as a condition precedent to applicability of section. 77 CA 276.
