Bergado vs. Court of Appeals

G.R. No. 84051
Decision Date
May 19, 1989
A 1928 land sale by Marciana Trinidad led to a double sale in 1947, with the Republic acquiring the property. Petitioners, heirs of the first buyers, claimed ownership but were barred by prescription and laches due to 34-year inaction. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Republic, citing bad faith in petitioners' late registration and superior rights of the first possessor.
