Practice question
Two complaints challenge sale documents. One seeks only nullity while title and possession remain with the plaintiff. The other seeks title and possession back from the transferee. Must both receive the same real/personal classification merely because both use nullity terminology?
- No; their materially different objects and relief must be examined.
- Yes; a shared legal word dictates identical classification.
- Yes; every nullity action is personal.
- Yes; every nullity action is real.
- Only the number of attached pages determines the nature.
