Questão jurídica principal
Whether the defendants could invoke good-faith acquisition free of the easement based on a land-register extract
Decisão extraída
No. Good faith cannot rely on a land-register extract; the relevant acquisition date was when the deed was entered in the main register, by which time the easement was visible.
Fundamentação extraída
The public faith of the land register protects reliance on the main register and related records, not on extracts alone. At the time of acquisition, the easement had already been entered in the main register, so no free-and-clear acquisition in good faith was possible.
