E.T. Investments, LLC v. Thomas C. Riley

Syllabus

The respondent, Thomas C. Riley, appealed from a final decree foreclosing his right of redemption for property sold at a tax sale. The respondent challenged the jurisdiction of the Superior Court to issue the citation prior to entering the order approving the title examiner and argued that the language in the citation was ambiguous. The Supreme Court held that respondent's jurisdictional challenge was not a true challenge to the Superior Court's power to hear the petition and that respondent's challenges to the validity of the citation and the ambiguity of its language were not raised to the Superior Court and were, thus, deemed waived. Accordingly, the Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court's final decree.
