Lichauco vs. Olegario and Olegario 43 Phil. 540, June 20, 1922 Facts
FACTS:
A writ of execution was issued by virtue of which were attached and advertised for sale at
public auction, certain real properties of Gregorio Olegario described in the complaint herein.
Defendant Gregorio Olegario sold to his cousin and brother-in-law Dalmacio Olegario, the other
defendant in this case, his right of redemption over the aforesaid properties, executing the proper
deed of sale, which was registered in the registry on the date of the conveyance. The plaintiff
alleges that this sale is fictitious,—the result of a fraudulent conspiracy between the herein
defendants.
ISSUE:
Whether or not Gregorio Olegario, as an execution debtor, was legally authorized to sell
his right of redemption.
RULING:
YES, Gregorio Olegario, as an execution debtor, was legally authorized to sell his right
of redemption.
The execution debtor may legally sell his right of redemption, as already declared by this
court in repeated decisions based on the precepts contained in sections 463 and 464, and other
sections related thereto, of the Code of Civil Procedure.
The transfer made by the execution debtor of the right of redemption could not, and
cannot, legally affect the plaintiff, nor, therefore, cause him any damage. If he is not affected by
such a transfer, it matters not to him whether it was, or was not, fraudulently executed.
