(The Center Square) – A Pacific Legal Foundation attorney said the U.S. Supreme Court's latest ruling on a Michigan property seizure case is a disappointment for property owners but still important for constitutional rights.

In a unanimous decision issued Tuesday, the court ruled that property owners whose homes are sold in tax foreclosures generally are entitled to the surplus proceeds from a fairly conducted auction, not the property’s fair market value.
