MB Financial Bank, N.A. v. Ted & Paul

Default judgment entered in mortgage foreclosure action, and commercial property was sold to a third party and confirmed by court order. Court improperly denied property owners/defendants' petition for relief from judgment, as factual question exists as to whether LLC mortgagor was properly served through its corporate agent or officer, and thus whether court lacked personal jurisdiction over LLC. A judgment entered without jurisdiction over the parties is void ab initio, and this principle cannot be overcome, even if property had been sold twice since judgment. (LAVIN and PUCINSKI, concurring.)
