Comp. Stat. 5/2-1401 proceeding that tax deed judgment was void due to property being tax exempt.

Overview: Firm's refunded mutual bonds were not "Government securities" under 15 U.S.C.S. § 80a-2(a)(16) and its "variable-rate demand notes" were not "cash items," so firm came within 40 % test and was investment company under 15 U.S.C.S. § 80a-3(a)(1)(A), but because it fell under § 80a-3(b)(1) exception, it did not have to register as investment company.
