VIII. LAW AND JURISPRUDENCE


Provisions of the Civil Code on:
The Law on Obligations
Art. 1159. Obligations arising from contracts have the force of law between
the contracting parties and should be complied with in good faith.
Art. 1169. Those obliged to deliver or to do something incur in delay from
the time the obligee judicially or extrajudicially demands from them the
fulfillment of their obligation.
X x x.
Art. 1170. Those who in the performance of their obligations are guilty of
fraud, negligence, or delay, and those who in any manner contravene the
tenor thereof, are liable for damages.
Art. 1291. Obligations may be modified by:
(1) Changing their object or principal conditions;
(2) Substituting the person of the debtor;
(3) Subrogating a third person in the rights of the creditor. (emphasis
mine)

Art. 1292. In order that an obligation may be extinguished by another which


substitute the same, it is imperative that it be so declared in unequivocal
terms, or that the old and the new obligations be on every point
incompatible with each other. (emphasis mine)

The old agreement Kasunduan was superseded by the Final Agreement


between the parties; Greg and Lilia. The old and new obligations embodied in
the prior and latter agreements have different principal conditions and the
obligations of the parties are on every point incompatible with each other.

The Principle of Unjust Enrichment


Art. 22. Every person who through an act of performance by another, or any
other means, acquires or comes into possession of something at the expense
of the latter without just or legal ground, shall return the same to him.
The law proscribes the defendant from benefitting from the payment of Php
243, 498 he received at the expense and to the disadvantage of the
plaintiffs.
