Practice question: Review of Decree of Registration

Multiple Choice Hard Jurisprudence

Practice question

A complaint plausibly alleges continuous ownership possession and an unsold portion wrongfully included in another's title. The court refuses threshold dismissal but leaves ownership and purchaser protection for evidence. A party claims this necessarily awards final title already. Which is best?
  1. Every refusal to dismiss conclusively transfers title.
  2. Allowing the case to proceed is not a final finding that every ownership allegation and defense has been resolved.
  3. No facts may ever be proved after pleading.
  4. Every registered defendant automatically loses all defenses.
  5. The court must treat all allegations as established forever.
