| Chua's new theory is not well taken in light of well-settled jurisprudence. An issue not raised in the court below cannot be raised for the first time on appeal, as this is offensive to the basic rules of fair play, justice and due process.[23] In addition, when a party deliberately adopts a certain theory, and the case is tried and decided on that theory in the court below, the party will not be permitted to change his theory on appeal. To permit him to change his theory will be unfair to the adverse party.[24] | |||||
