He believed that these areas must be given full attention to solve poverty. Microfinance, in particular, gives hope to the poor and provides a way to build development from the bottom. It has failed to do so all these years. The private sector must make a stand in addressing this serious social problem. We cannot continue to deny the existence of hopelessness and despair around us. Nor should we expect someone else to solve our failures.

Lee, for the purpose primarily of settling the aforesaid debts of Tan Sin An and the partnership. Pursuant to a court order of April 2, , the administratrix executed on April 4,, a deed of sale [1] of the 49 parcels of land to the defendants Washington Sycip and Betty Lee in consideration of P37, Learning about the sale to Sycip and Lee, the surviving partner Antonio Goquiolay filed, on or about July 25,, a petition in the intestate proceedings seeking to set aside the order of the probate court approving the sale in so far as his interest over the parcels of land sold was concerned.

On June 30, , we rendered decision setting aside the orders of the probate court complained of and remanding the case for new trial, due to the non-inclusion of indispensable parties. Thereafter, new pleadings were filed. The second amended complaint in the case at bar prays, among other things, for the annulment of the sale in favor of Washington Sycip and Betty Lee, and their subsequent conveyance in favor of the Insular Development Co.

After hearing, the complaint was dismissed by the lower court in its decision dated October 30, ; hence, this appeal taken directly to us by the plaintiffs, as the amount involved is more than P, Plaintiffs-appellants assign as errors that.

II The lower court erred in holding that Kong Chai Pin could act alone as sole managing partner in view of the minority of the other heirs. IV The lower court erred in holding that Kong Chai Pin had authority to sell the partnership properties by virtue of the articles of partnership and the general power of attorney granted to Tan Sin An in order to pay the partnership indebtedness.

V The lower court erred in finding that the partnership did not pay its obligation to the Banco Hipotecario. VI The lower court erred in holding that the consent of Antonio Goquiolay was not necessary to consummate the sale of the partnership properties.

Facts: In , Eddie Alarilla and Irma Idos formed a partnership which they decided to terminate after a year.

Alarilla was able to encash the first, second and fourth checks but the third was dishonored for insufficiency of funds. He demanded payment but Idos failed to pay. He filed an information for violation of BP blg. Issue: Did the court confused and merged into one the legal concepts of dissolution, liquidation and termination of a partnership?

Ruling: The partners agreement to terminate the partnership did not automatically dissolved the partnership. They were in the process of winding-up when the check in question was issued. The best evidenceof the existence of the partnership, which was not yet terminated were the unsold goods and uncollected receivables which were presented to the trial court. Since the partnership has not been terminated, Idos and Alarilla remained co-partners. The check was issued by petitioner to respondent as would a partner to another and not as a payment by debtor to creditor.

Thus, absent the first element of the complained offense, the act is not punishable by the statute. Lichauco vs. Lichauco Hermanos partnership was formed. Belatedly in , Eugenia et al filed a civil suit against Faustino to compel the latter to perform ac accounting. HELD: Yes. The firm was already dissolved in when its machineries were dismantled — this was a sign that the firm abandoned and concluded the purpose for it was formed rice cleaning business.

Upon said dissolution, it was the duty of Faustino to liquidate the assets and inform his partners. It would be absurd and unreasonable to hold that such an association could never be dissolved and liquidated without the consent and agreement of two-thirds of its partners, notwithstanding that it had lost all its capital, or had become bankrupt, or that the enterprise for which it had been organized had been concluded or utterly abandoned.

Soncuya v. L, April 28, , Villa-Real, J. For the purpose of adjudicating to plaintiff damages which he alleges to have suffered as a partner, it is necessary that a liquidation of the business be made that the end profits and losses maybe known and the causes of the latter and the responsibility of the defendant as well as the damages in which each partner may have suffered, maybe determined. Issue: Whether the petitioner is entitled to damages.

Ruling: According to the Supreme Court the complaint is not sufficient to constitute a cause of action on the part of the plaintiff as member of the partnership to collect damages from defendant as managing partner thereof, without previous liquidation.

Thus, for a partner to be able to claim from another partner who manages the general co-partnership, allegedly suffered by him by reason of the fraudulent administration of the latter, a previous liquidation of said partnership is necessary. Primelink vs. Lazatin-Magat In , Primelink Properties and the Lazatin siblings entered into a joint venture agreement whereby the Lazatins shall contribute a huge parcel of land and Primelink shall develop the same into a subdivision.

For 4 years however, Primelink failed to develop the said land. So in , the Lazatins filed a complaint to rescind the joint venture agreement with prayer for preliminary injunction. In said case, Primelink was declared in default or failing to file an answer and for asking multiple motions for extension.

The trial court eventually ruled in favor of the Lazatins and it ordered Primelink to return the possession of said land to the Lazatins as well as some improvements which Primelink had so far over the property without the Lazatins paying for said improvements.

This decision was affirmed by the Court of Appeals. Primelink is now assailing the order; that turning over improvements to the Lazatins without reimbursement is unjust; that the Lazatins did not ask the properties to be placed under their possession but they merely asked for rescission.
