The appellant, acting as estate trustee, appealed a judgment denying her application to set aside a municipal tax sale of a property previously owned by her deceased parents.
She argued the municipality failed to provide her with proper notice of the sale and acted in bad faith.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding that the municipality strictly complied with the notice requirements under the Municipal Act, 2001 by sending registered letters to the assessed owners at their last known addresses.
The court held that the municipality owed no additional duty of good faith to notify the appellant, who had not registered her interest on title or updated the municipal tax rolls.
