First National Bank v. Energy Fuels Corp.

We granted certiorari to review the court of appeals’ decision in Chatfield Bank v. Energy Fuels Corp., et al., 42 Colo. App. 233, 599 P.2d 923 (1979). The court of appeals interpreted the redemption statute, section 38-39-103(1), C.R.S. 1973, as granting to a judgment creditor of one joint tenant a right to redeem the entire property from a foreclosure sale ahead of lienors who held deeds of trust which were filed after the judgment lien but were executed by both joint tenants on the entire property. We reverse, and remand to the court of appeals with directions.
