Book excerpt: Excerpt from Translation of the Mortgage Law for Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Phillippines The mortgage law, which has been in force in the Peninsula for the past thirty years, was applied to the Antilles, with such changes as were indispensable for its adaptation to those islands, on May 1, 1880, and to the Philippines on December 1, 1889, reforming the laws regard ing real property in those countries, and consequently giving a new impetus to land securities. Although this work is not without its imperfections, being human, the mortgage law must be looked upon as one Of our most important legal works, and all that is fundamental therein, and even that which appears of less value, should be religiously respected as long as the results of experience and the necessity of rec on cilin g it with the other legal measures in force permit its observance. This has been the rule adhered to by the Government in the prepara tion of the revision herewith submitted to the Cortes. The Civil Code for the Colonies as well as for the Peninsula, among other special laws, left the mortgage law expressly in force, without eliminating from it, or diverting from itself entirely, provisions which by their nature would have corresponded to the Code had both origi nated at the same period. It was an inevitable necessity, therefore, to overcome the differences, and in the revision which took place with this object in view, it was concluded that the Code should prevail whenever a question arose and not only support the structure of the mortgage law, but that said law should be the only one for all ultramarine provinces; and, further, that it should coincide, as far as possible, with the text of the Peninsular law, thus avoiding the confusion and prae tical difficulties which were noted in the quotations and references by reason of four different sets of numbers for the articles.
