Narrative Opinion Summary
In this appellate case, the defendant contested a Supreme Court order that denied his motion to overturn a foreclosure sale of his property. The foreclosure proceedings were initiated by the plaintiff due to the defendant's default, culminating in a public sale where the property was purchased by third parties. The defendant challenged the sufficiency of the sale notice, asserting that it inadequately described the property and failed to mention a driveway easement. The Supreme Court found the notice sufficient, as it mirrored descriptions in the mortgage and complaint, and deemed any location discrepancies nonprejudicial. Additionally, the court ruled that the inclusion of the easement in the Referee's deed was correct. Consequently, the court affirmed the order, rejecting all other contentions from the defendant, and awarded costs to the purchasers. This decision underscores the importance of accurate property descriptions in foreclosure proceedings and the handling of potential errors or omissions in legal notices.
