P1289 A bank and its trustee have a stake in the outcome of a proceeding seeking to invalidate the trustee's sale on nonjudicial foreclosure, so they are indispensable parties, and unless they are parties to the proceeding, a judgment declaring the sale invalid is void and a nullity; since logically the sale cannot be valid in favor of the seller, but invalid as to the buyer, a default judgment against the buyer in that proceeding is also void.CitationWASHINGTON MUTUAL BANK v BLECHMAN (Indispensable Parties) 157 CA4 662 [See: CCP 389; Save Our Bay v SD Unified Port Dist 42 CA4 686]
