Porter v. Tayer

Porter v. Tayer, 1963 OK 176, 385 P.2d 808, involved a contention by a holder of a tax deed that he was entitled to have the taxpayer-landowner tender as "expenses" his personal expenses in obtaining the tax deed and in defending it. The statute there provided that when a landowner-taxpayer sought to set aside a tax deed that person must tender all "costs and expenses." 68 O.S.1961, 455. The Court there held that the word "expenses" did not include personal expenses of the holder of the tax deed in obtaining or defending the instrument.
