F6, F7, F8, S1, S2, S3, and S4 and third, whether or
not Tirso D. Monteroso is entitled to damages.
The CA resolved the first issue in the affirmative, SP
No. 309 being a valid and binding proceedings insofar as
the properties subject thereof are concerned, i.e., Parcels F
1 to F5 of which the whole of Parcel F4 and onehalf of
Parcel F5, as Soledad D. Monterosos intestate estate,
were distributed to her heirs. This is not to mention that
the authenticity and due execution of the documents filed
or issued in relation therewithreferring to the Proyecto de
Particion dated February 12, 1935 which is a carbon copy
of the original, the Orden issued by the CFI on March 11,
1936, and the Mocion dated March 18, 1936having duly
been established. Affirming the RTC, the CA rejected
Tirsos claim that SP No. 309 is void for settling only a part
of the estate of Soledad D. Monteroso. The CA held that
partial settlement is not a ground for the nullification of
the judicial partition under either the Spanish Civil Code of
1889 or the present Civil Code. The appellate court added
that the proper remedy in such a situation is to ask for the
partition and the subsequent distribution of the property
omitted.
