1. Absolute simulation or
when the contract does not
really exist and the parties do
not intend to be bound at all.
Absolutely simulated or fictitious
contracts are inexistent and
void.
Example
• Dan is indebted to Cathy. Upon learning that
Cathy is going to enforce his credit, Dan
pretended to sell his land to Fredo, his
father-in-law. Dan did not receive a single
centavo for the deed of sale he executed
and he continued in possession of the land
as the contract was merely simulated or
fictitious. There is no contract of sale in this
case as the parties do not intend to be
bound at all.
