Question 13

2024 Bar · Civil Law · 1 sub-question

13. Klyde and his predecessors-in-interest had been in open, continuous, exclusive and notorious possession and occupation of a 10-hectare agricultural land of the public domain under a bona fide claim of ownership since 1995. In 2015, the property had been declared alienable and disposable. In 2020, Klyde applied for registration of the lot. The Register of Deeds denied the application because Klyde did not occupy the property since time immemorial or before June 12, 1945. Is the Register of Deeds justified in denying registration of the property in favor of Klyde based on lack of occupation since time immemorial? Explain.
