Thompson v. Columbia County
Court of Appeals of Oregon · Decided October 20, 1982 · Gillette, Young
59 Or. App. 761; 652 P.2d 380; 1982 Ore. App. LEXIS 3823

Thompson v. Columbia County

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM

Assuming, without deciding, that the plaintiffs in this case had standing to contest a sale of surplus property by Columbia County — and we find plaintiffs standing to be doubtful — the trial judge erred in cancelling the deed given by the county in this case. The sole issue was whether the county acted unreasonably. See ORS 275.200; Johnson v. Craddock et al, 228 Or 308, 365 P2d 89 (1961). The undisputed evidence in this case concerning the previous offers to purchase this property establishes that the county did not act unreasonably.

Reversed.
