BERKE
v.
HOME OWNERS' LOAN CORPORATION

Syllabus

¶0 1. MORTGAGES--Mere inadequacy of price at foreclosure sale insufficient ground for vacating order of confirmation.
Mere inadequacy of purchase price at a sheriff's sale of real property under foreclosure is ordinarily insufficient to warrant vacation of the order of confirmation.
2. SAME--Foreclosure sale not set aside for irregularity unless injury to movant's rights shown.
The court will not set aside a foreclosure sale for an irregularity consisting of offering and selling the property in a mode different from that prescribed in the decree unless the party applying to have the same set aside shows some real or substantial injury to his rights.
