ESTRELLA C. PABALAN v. ANASTACIA B. SANTARIN

This case has been cited 1 times or more.

AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ, J.
Neither may it be said that the Complaint fails to state a cause of action merely because it did not traverse the issue of whether respondent is a mortgagee in good faith.  We already ruled that the claim that a mortgagee is one in good faith is a matter of defense[36] which should be determined during the trial.[37]  The dismissal of a complaint before resolution of that issue would certainly be precipitate, as it was in this case.
