1 Duero Vs CA (Read)

1) Gabriel Duero filed a complaint against Bernardo Eradel for recovery of possession and ownership of a parcel of land covered by a tax declaration in Duero's name. 2) Duero presented evidence ex parte and obtained a judgment ordering Eradel to vacate the land. 3) Eradel claimed he had been occupying the land as a tenant since 1958 and had turned over the complaint to the alleged landlord, believing the landlord had the right to defend the land. However, the trial court denied Eradel's motions for new trial and relief from judgment.
