setting aside judicial sale

Defined in 1 dictionary — Case Law

Definitions from Case Law

From 205 U.S. 285 - Ballentyne v. Smith · 1907Most cited · 148 citing opinions

A sale will not be set aside for mere inadequacy of price unless that inadequacy be so gross as to shock the conscience, or unless there be additional circumstances against its fairness. But if there be great inadequacy, slight circumstances of unfairness in the conduct of the party benefited by the sale will be sufficient to justify setting it aside.
