Legal Redemption
Legal Redemption
1. Concept
Legal redemption is the right to be subrogated upon the same terms and
conditions stipulated in the contract, in the place of one who acquired a thing by
purchase, or dation in payment, or by any other transaction whereby the
ownership is transmitted by onerous title. Thus, the right is not available if the
transfer of ownership is by gratuitous title.
If such small piece of urban land is about to be resold, the adjoining owner
shall have the right of pre-emption at a reasonable price.
Preference shall be given to the owner whose intended use of the land in
question appears best justified.
