Judicial Remedies Over Real Properties
This book discusses on the elements, basic concepts, and jurisprudential rules relative to the different judicial remedies involving real properties. It also delineates the distinctive features and characteristics of each remedy vis-àvis the others. It strives to be a reliable guidebook for the reader in order for him/her, first, to select the most appropriate and effective remedy under obtaining circumstances and, second, to formulate the factual allegations apropos to the chosen remedy. Let it be emphasized that a wrong remedy is fatal to one’s cause of action and could lead to the dismissal of the complaint. Similarly, even if the correct action was taken, yet, the complaint fails to set out key and material or jurisdictional facts, such dearth would be equally disastrous and could lead to a similar result.
