BROCK, Justice,
concurring.
I concur in the Court’s denial of relief to the appellee-mortgagor in this instance; the price obtained for his property at the foreclosure does not shock my conscience. However, I think that the Court goes too far, farther than is necessary or prudent, in holding:
“If a foreclosure sale is legally held, conducted and consummated, there must be more evidence of irregularity, misconduct, fraud or unfairness on the part of the trustee or mortgagor that caused or contributed to an inadequate price for a court of equity to set aside the sale.”
I cannot, I do not, go that far. Gross inadequacy of the price obtained at such a forced sale, inadequacy so gross that the sale cannot, in good conscience, be permitted to stand should continue to be good reason in equity to warrant relief.
