    The land originally belonged to Sagrada Orden but was acquired by a Japanese corporation during the Japanese occupation. After the US took control as Alien Property Custodian, the property was occupied by Copra Export and then National Coconut Corporation (Nacoco). Sagrada Orden sued to regain title and eject Nacoco. The court ruled that Nacoco occupied the land in good faith with the permission of the Alien Property Custodian, so they were not obligated to pay rentals to Sagrada Orden prior to the judgment awarding title.

    SAGRADA ORDEN VS NACOCO G.R. NO.

    L-3756 JUNE 30, 1952


    FACTS:
    The land in question belongs to plaintiff Sagrada Orden in whose name the title was
    registered before the war
    On January 4, 1943, during the Japanese military occupation, the land was acquired by a
    Japanese corporation by the name of Taiwan Tekkosho
    After liberation on April 4, 1946, the Alien Property Custodian of the United States of
    America took possession, control, and custody of the property pursuant to the Trading
    with the Enemy Act
    The property was occupied by the Copra Export Management Company under a
    custodian agreement with US Alien Property Custodian. When it vacated the property, it
    was occupied by defendant National Coconut Corporation
    The plaintiff made claim to the said property before the Alien Property Custodian. Alien
    Property Custodian denied such claim
    It bought an action in court which resulted to the cancellation of the title issued in the
    name of Taiwan Tekkosho which was executed under threats, duress, and intimidation;
    reissuance of the title in favor of the plaintiff; cancellation of the claims, rights, title,
    interest of the Alien property Custodian; and occupant National Coconut Corporations
    ejection from the property. A right was also vested to the plaintiff to recover from the
    defendants rentals for its occupation of the land from the date it vacated.
    Defendant contests the rental claims on the defense that it occupied the property in good
    faith and under no obligation to pay rentals.
    ISSUE: Whether or not the defendant is obliged to pay rentals to the plaintiff
    HELD: No. Nacoco is not liable to pay rentals prior the judgment. If defendant-appellant is liable
    at all, its obligations, must arise from any of the four sources of obligations, namley, law,
    contract or quasi-contract, crime, or negligence. (Article 1089, Spanish Civil Code.) Defendantappellant is not guilty of any offense at all, because it entered the premises and occupied it with
    the permission of the entity which had the legal control and administration thereof, the Allien
    Property Administration. Neither was there any negligence on its part.
