Duquesne Law Review
Abstract
In Tyler v. Hennepin County, we see the United States Supreme Court's continuation of the strengthening of individual property rights. The Court endeavored to address two issues in this case: 1) whether the seizing and selling of property to satisfy a tax debt without returning the surplus violates the Takings Clause; and 2) whether the forfeiture of the surplus resulting from a tax sale is an excessive fine under the Eighth Amendment. The Court answered the first question in the affirmative and, thus, did not address the second question.
