Supreme Court of North Carolina November 24, 1954 (Redic v. Mechanics & Farmers Bank)

Barnhill, C. J.

For some undisclosed reason plaintiff prays cancellation of the tax foreclosure deed. But whether plaintiff has stated a cause of action does not depend upon the validity or invalidity of the tax foreclosure deed. The quality of the estate it conveyed to Gibson, and through him to the defendant Bank, is the determinative factor.
