POTENCIANO RAMIREZ v. MA. CECILIA RAMIREZ

This case has been cited 1 times or more.

2009-04-16
PERALTA, J.
Ramirez v. Ramirez[36] held that under Article 1411, it must be shown that the nullity of the contract proceeds from an illegal cause or object, and the act of executing the contract constitutes a criminal offense.[37] Object and cause are two separate elements, and the illegality of either element gives rise to the application of the doctrine of pari delicto.[38] Object is the subject matter of the agreement, while cause is the essential reason which moves the parties to enter into the transaction.[39]
