An ordinance of the City of Miami authorized the city attorney to take any action to collect on municipal liens and to delegate this authority to holders of municipal liens. Joel Israel purchased lien certificates from the city on property on which assessments were outstanding, including on parcel 9, owned by Manuel Ismael. The city attorney assigned to Israel the city's right to take any action to collect on the lien certificates. He followed the legal procedure to foreclose on and sell the property, including notifying Ismael, who did not respond. A foreclosure sale was held. A year and a half later, Ismael asked the court to void the sale, arguing that Israel had no standing to foreclose. If the city had the right to foreclose, did Israel also have that right?
