In re Application for a Tax Deed

In order to fall within the narrow exception to the general rule that a nonparty has no standing to file a Section 2-1401 petition, the nonparty must be injured by the judgment at the time of its entry. A nonparty to a tax deed proceeding that has such an interest in the property that it would be entitled to redeem the property would fit an exception to the general rule that a nonparty may not file a Section 2-1401 petition. As other Petitioner no longer had any interest in the property when he filed his Section 2-1401 petition, the principle os standing preclude him from bringing the petition. (GOLDENHERSH and OVERSTREET, concurring.)
