| However, in some special cases, this Court has used Article 448 by recognizing good faith beyond this limited definition. Thus, in Del Campo v. Abesia,[68] this provision was applied to one whose house -- despite having been built at the time he was still co-owner -- overlapped with the land of another.[69] This article was also applied to cases wherein a builder had constructed improvements with the consent of the owner. The Court ruled that the law deemed the builder to be in good faith.[70] In Sarmiento v. Agana,[71] the builders were found to be in good faith despite their reliance on the consent of another, whom they had mistakenly believed to be the owner of the land.[72] | |||||
