MENDOZA, J.
Article 1412 is not applicable to fictitious or simulated contracts, because they refer to contracts with an illegal cause or subject-matter.[42] This article presupposes the existence of a cause, it cannot refer to fictitious or simulated contracts which are in reality non-existent.[43] As it has been determined that the Deed of Sale is a simulated contract, the provision cannot apply to it.
