Valencia v Jimenez (1908)


Valencia v Jimenez
GR No. L-4406, October 23, 1908


FACTS:
This action was brought in the CFI to set aside a sale of real estate for unpaid taxes amounting to 2,934 to defendant

Jimenez and also the transfer of a 1⁄2 interest therein by him to the defendant on the ground that defendants had secured title under tax sale by conspiracy, when they had ample funds for the taxes.

ISSUE:
Was the sale void


RULING:
The sale is invalid. Applying either Spanish or the American criterions as to good faith, the plaintiff may not recover the

rents and profits down to the time when it is plain that the defendants were advised of their title. The action is remanded to CFI in order to carry out the judgment.
