Practice question
An owner lets a friend use a private, unregistered parcel by permission. Throughout the period the friend acknowledges that permission and the owner's title. Can that same tolerated use alone support acquisitive prescription?
- Yes, permission is equivalent to adverse ownership
- No, Article 1119 excludes possessory acts by license or mere tolerance
- Yes, once the friend plants one tree
- Yes, because unregistered property is automatically ownerless
- No, because prescription never applies to any private land
Legal references
- Civil Code Articles 1113, 1117–1137: https://lawphil.net/statutes/repacts/ra1949/ra_386_1949.html
