	GR No. 185159 2009-10-12	SUBIC TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY v. SUBIC BAY METROPOLITAN AUTHORITY VELASCO JR., J.
A cause of action is the fact or combination of facts which affords a party a right to judicial interference in his behalf.[38] The elements that constitute a cause of action are: (1) the legal right of the plaintiff; (2) correlative obligation of the defendant to respect that legal right; and (3) an act or omission of the defendant that violates such right.[39]
	GR NOS. 167829-30 2007-11-13	FILIPINAS SYSTEMS v. MRT DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION VELASCO, JR., J.
Section 1. Costs Ordinarily follow the result of suit. Unless otherwise provided in these rules, costs shall be allowed to the prevailing party as a matter of course, but the court shall have power for special reasons, to adjudge that either party shall pay the cost of an action, or that the same shall be divided, as may be equitable.[27] In the instant case, there is no basis for assessing the arbitration costs against one party or the other, as the parties' prayers were only partially granted. We find it is just and equitable that both parties equally share the costs of arbitration.
