Reynaldo A. Nidoy, Sr. v · G.R. 185391

Petitioner: Reynaldo A. Nidoy, Sr.
Respondent: Spouses Rolando Hipolito
Citation: G.R. No. 185391
Court: Supreme Court
Division: Third Division
Ponente: Peralta, J.
Decided: February 3, 2016

Summary

Reynaldo Nidoy claimed right of legal redemption over Lot No. 524 sold by his deceased relative Arsenia to Spouses Hipolito. He argued he was a co-owner through easement rights and inheritance. The MTC initially granted his claim, but the RTC reversed, finding no co-ownership existed since the ancestral property had been formally partitioned with Arsenia receiving sole ownership of Lot No. 524. The CA and Supreme Court affirmed, ruling Reynaldo was merely a possessor by tolerance, not a co-owner, and therefore had no redemption rights under Articles 1620-1622 of the Civil Code. The Supreme Court emphasized this was a factual determination that lower courts had correctly resolved, making their findings conclusive and unreviewable on appeal.
