Mahrenholz v. Co. Bd of School Trustees

Lawrence Marino, plaintiff, successfully bid at a sheriffs sale which took place on November 22, 1983. The property was being sold after United Bank of Illinois filed a complaint to foreclose a mortgage executed by Kenneth and Elizabeth Vosberg on January 9, 1981. After purchasing the property plaintiff attempted, in the instant action, to vacate the sale and to have his purchase money returned, on the basis of misrepresentations alleged to have been made by Linda Kream, an attorney who was sent to bid at the sale as representative of Theodore Liebovich, the attorney for the mortgagee. On May 30, 1984, the trial court ordered the sale vacated. However, on defendants motion to reconsider, the trial court reversed its earlier order and confirmed the sale. Plaintiff Marino appeals from that order. Page 525
