G.R. No. 160406 June 26, 2006
SPS. DOLORES MIRANDA PROVOST and JEAN PROVOST, Petitioners,
vs.
THE COURT OF APPEALS and SPS. VICTOR RAMOS and FE A. RAMOS, Respondents.
Topic: Appeal from MTC order dismissing case
Ponente: QUISUMBING, J.
FACTS:
Private respondent Sps Ramos spouses filed a complaint for recovery of ownership and
possession with damages against Sps Provost alleging that Sps Provost encroached on 314
square meters of their lot Mambajao, Camiguin.
The MTC dismissed the complaint and held that the Ramoses failed to prove their ownership
and possession of the disputed area. On appeal, the RTC affirmed the MTC decision, stating that
the claim by the Ramoses over the property sought to be recovered was based on a
disapproved survey plan.The appellate court reversed the RTC decision
ISSUE:
WON Petitioner for Certiorari is the only remedy available.
RULING:
No, the SC ruled that the case involves an error of judgment and not of jurisdiction. Thus, a
petition for certiorari under Rule 65 of the Rules of Court is not proper. Nevertheless, we shall
give due course to the instant petition as one proper for review under Rule 45.
