How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

holding that the automatic stay “serves no substantial purpose” after the redemption period expires because there is no tax claim that can be treated in the bankruptcy
holding that the holder of the tax certificate held only a secured claim which could be paid in installments, with interest, over the term of the plan
stating that after a sale in error “the property (and the landowner) are again subject to liability for the unpaid taxes”
noting that perfection is a matter of priority of secured creditors, not obtaining ownership
reasoning that the substantial threat of a debtor losing property, including all of its equity, if the debtor does not redeem “creates a right to payment ... on behalf of the tax purchaser”
“nothing in Section 108(b) transforms the extension of a non-bankruptcy right into a negation of bankruptcy rights specifically accorded elsewhere in the Code”
