City of Detroit v. Alsip

Defendant Stanley R. Van Reken appeals from an order granting summary judgment in favor of plaintiff, City of Detroit, GCR 1963, 117.1(3), and ordering foreclosure on certain residential property located within the city. In this action, the city sued for judicial confirmation of an administrative tax sale of property for failure to pay city real estate taxes and public school tax assessments. Defendant did not deny liability but challenged the city’s foreclosure procedure contending that the city is without authority to foreclose for delinquent taxes.
