What is the exception to the rule requiring court intervention for the alienation of property by a corporation sole?
Court intervention is generally required for a corporation sole to sell or mortgage real property, necessitating an order from the Regional Trial Court (SEC. 111, Revised Corporation Code of the Philippines). However, this intervention shall not be necessary in cases where the rules, regulations, and discipline of the religious denomination, sect or church regulate the method of acquiring, holding, selling, and mortgaging real estate and personal property. In such cases, those specific religious rules, regulations, and discipline shall govern the transaction. This exception respects the autonomy and internal governance structures of the established religious group.
