General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Tiglao v. Insular Government, 215 U.S. 410 (1910)
Tiglao v. Insular Government of the Philippine Islands No. 37 Argued November 1, 1909 Decided January 3, 1910 215 U.S. 410
ERROR TO AND APPEAL FROM THE SUPREME
COURT OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Syllabus
Writ of error and not appeal is the proper method to bring up to this Court a judgment of the Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands in a case affecting title to land in Court of Land Registration. Carino v. Insular Government, 212 U.S. 449.
In this case, the grant involved was made without authority by subordinate officials, was void ab initio, and conveyed no title to the original grantee or those holding under him.
A man cannot take advantage of his ignorance of the law, and where all that is done to give him a title is insufficient on its face, the grantee is chargeable with knowledge, does not hold in good faith, and in such a case prescription does not run from the date of the instrument under which he claims.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
