Title Supreme Court: Barrameda vs. Moir

Case: G.R. No. 7927

Decision Date: Aug 8, 1913

A land title dispute arose when a justice of peace ruled against Barrameda, who appealed. Acts 2041 and 2131 granted justices exclusive jurisdiction over low-value land disputes, conflicting with the Philippine Bill of 1902. The Supreme Court invalidated these acts, affirming Courts of First Instance's exclusive jurisdiction over all land title cases. The justice's ruling was void, and the appeal dismissal was overturned.
