Practice question
More than two years after administrative reconstitution, a registered owner seeks cancellation of only the general RA 26 Section 7 reservation. No Section 8 petition was filed during that period. The government insists that publication and posting under the first portion of Section 9 are invariably necessary. Under the 2025 St. Augustine main opinion, which is correct?
- The Section 9 proviso permits the qualified ex parte motion without that publication and posting
- Every separately annotated mortgage disappears automatically
- No court motion of any kind is necessary
- The owner acquires every adjacent lot
- The reservation can never be canceled
