Christian Assembly, Inc. vs. Spouses Ignacio

CHRISTIAN GENERAL ASSEMBLY, INC., Petitioner, versus SPS. AVELINO C. IGNACIO and PRISCILLA T. IGNACIO, Respondents.

G.R. No. 164789 | 2009-08-27

D E C I S I O N

BRION, J.:

We resolve in this Rule 45 petition the legal issue of whether an action to rescind a contract to sell a subdivision lot that the buyer found to be under litigation falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB).

In this petition,[1] Christian General Assembly, Inc. (CGA) prays that we set aside the decision[2] issued by the Court of Appeals (CA) in CA-G.R. SP No. 75717 that dismissed its complaint for rescission filed with the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of Bulacan for lack of jurisdiction, as well as the CA resolution[3] that denied its motion for reconsideration.

FACTUAL...
