Question
(a) Identify the Operative Fact Doctrine and state the controlling rule governing acts performed under a repealed or amended land-registration law.
(b) Apply the doctrine to the following facts: On March 15, 2008, S executed a deed of absolute sale of a parcel of land to T under the Land Registration Act then in force. Possession was delivered on March 20, 2008, and a Transfer Certificate of Title was issued in T’s name on April 10, 2008. On January 1, 2014, the statute was repealed and replaced by the Land Registration Code. In 2020, V challenges T’s title as void due to repeal. Decide whether T’s title remains valid or not under the Operative Fact Doctrine, and explain the effect on V’s claim.
