Case Notes



 



  Read in pari materia, §668-1 and this section, relating to
the partition of real property, vest the circuit court with equitable discretion
in judicial sales of such property, to reopen bidding after public auction but
before confirmation of the public auction bid, and the court's rejection of
confirmation of the highest bid submitted at a public auction does not require
a showing that inadequacy of the bid amounted to fraud.  104 H. 119, 85 P.3d
