District of Columbia v. Mayhew
District of Columbia Court of Appeals
Decided December 20, 1991No. 89-1533PublishedCited by 16 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
FARRELL, Associate Judge:
The issues we decide in this appeal are (a) whether the trustees under a deed of trust were entitled to constitutionally adequate notice of a tax sale of real property subsequently deeded to the District of Columbia, and (b), if so, whether the District’s efforts to notify them were sufficient. We answer the first question yes, the second question no, and therefore affirm the judgment of the trial court declaring the tax deed held by the District to be null and void.
