QUISUMBING, J. |
||||
| It is very evident that defendants have no intention of fulfilling their obligation. Despite the efforts exerted [by] the herein plaintiff, the defendants in complete disregard [of] the plaintiff's rights still adamantly refused to restore the hard earned money of the said plaintiff to his damage and prejudice. Such unjust enrichment at the expense of another has always been abhorred in this jurisdiction.[17] In our view, this case does not sufficiently satisfy the test of "factual, legal and equitable justification" needed as basis for an award of attorney's fees.[18] Thus, for lack of sufficient basis in fact, law or equity, the award of attorney's fees must be deleted. | |||||
