descriptionCámara Nacional de Apelaciones en lo Comercial, Sala A, 14 December 1989. Where the court auctioned a larger share of a property than the bankrupt debtor actually held, without notifying the estate and co-heirs who owned the rest, both the auto de subasta and the subasta were annulled as a sale of a partially foreign thing — void even as to the debtor's own share — subject to the buyer possibly keeping that share at a reduced price.

Nothing on this page describes United States practice. There is no certificate sold to an investor, no administrative sale of land for unpaid tax, and no redemption window after a subasta judicial in Argentina. If you arrived carrying US assumptions, read falsos-amigos first.
