     C. The person conducting the sale shall also give notice to all parties in the action who have appeared and have not theretofore been found by the Court to be in default for failure to plead. Such notice shall be given in the manner
provided in the applicable rules of Court for service of papers other than process and complaint, not more than 28 days nor less than 7 days prior to the day of sale. After notice is given as required in this Section, a copy thereof shall be filed in the office of the Clerk of the Court entering the judgment, together with a certificate of counsel or other proof that notice has been served in compliance with this Section.
     D. The person conducting the sale shall again give notice in accordance with this Section of any adjourned sale; provided, however, that if the adjourned sale is to occur less than 30 days after the last scheduled sale, notice of any adjourned sale need be given only once, not less than 5 days prior to the date of the adjourned sale.

     H. The person conducting the sale shall promptly make a report to the court and upon motion and notice in accordance with court rules applicable to motions generally, the court shall conduct a hearing to confirm the sale. If the court finds that notice of the sale required with subsections B, C, D and E were given and that the sale was not conducted fraudulently, the court shall then enter an order confirming the sale and giving possession of the property to the purchaser. The confirmation order may also;
     1. approve the receiver’s fees and costs arising between the entry of any judgment or order appointing the receiver and the confirmation hearing;

Signature and recital in the instrument of the title or authority of the person signing the instrument conveying title, of authority pursuant to the judgment and of the giving of the notices required by this Section is sufficient proof of the facts required and of such authority to execute the instrument of conveyance, but such instrument shall not be construed to contain any covenant on the part of the person executing it.
     J. The court granting the judgment of foreclosure may make further orders to enforce possession of the property purchased under any sale of foreclosure.
