Full Text of Rule 7
Plain-English Summary
Rule 7 builds in a short cooling-off period before a court can confirm a sheriff's or receiver's sale — at least three days must pass after the sale before confirmation. That window gives an interested party, such as a debtor challenging an inadequate sale price, a chance to raise an objection before the sale becomes final.
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after a sheriff's sale can the court confirm it?
Not less than three days after the sale, under Rule 7.
Does Rule 7 apply to a receiver's sale too?
Yes. It covers both sheriff's sales and receiver's sales.
Why does the rule require a waiting period before confirmation?
The three-day gap gives an interested party time to raise an objection — for instance that the sale price was inadequate — before the court confirms the sale and it becomes final.
