““ * * * the asserted inaction of plaintiffs could not constitute an estoppel as it is the firmly established jurisprudence of this court that mere silence and delay cannot effect a loss of title to property other than by' the laws' of prescription. * * *””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“* * * Defendant's initial contention, which is reurged here under his exception of no cause of action, is that plaintiffs' demand should nontheless be rejected for the reason that their ownership has not been registered and that he, being a third person dealing with immovable property, was entitled to depend on the faith of the public records. "There is no merit in the point. It is well settled that our law of registry, Articles 2251 through 2266 of the LSA-Civil Code, is not applicable when the ownership of, or claim affecting the immovable has become vested in the claimant by mere, operation of law. See Long v. Chailan, 187 La. 507 , 175 So. 42 and Dugas v. Powell, 207 La. 316 , 21 So.2d 366 . * * *"”
