These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A trial court’s confirmation of a sheriff’s sale is not simply ministerial; the court’s confirmation is a necessary step to finalize the sale contract with the purchaser. See [Davies, 48 Wn. App. at 32 ] (purchaser at sheriff’s sale can withdraw bid prior to confirmation of sale, the bid does not become a contract until confirmed by the court).”
