CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION CONTRACT OF SALE – One of the contracting parties obligates himself to transfer the ownership of and to deliver a determinate thing, and the other to pay therefor a price certain in money or its equivalent. A contract of sale may be absolute or conditional. SALES 1. Contract of sale (absolute) real obligation – obligation to give remedies available: a. specific performance b. rescission c. damages 2. Contract to sell (conditional) personal obligation – obligation to do remedies available: a. resolution b. damages ESSENTIAL REQUISITES OF A CONTRACT OF SALE 1. consent 2. subject matter 3. price CHARACTERISTICS OF CONTRACT OF SALE: 1. Nominate - law gave it a name 2. Principal - can stand on its own; unlike accessory contract 3. Bilateral - imposes obligation on both parties a. obligation of seller – transfer ownership & deliver b. obligation of buyer – pay price Consequence: power to rescind is implied in bilateral contracts 4. Onerous – with valuable consideration Consequence: all doubts in construing contract to be resolved in greater reciprocity of interest 5. Commutative equal value is exchanged for equal value Test: subjective – as long as parties believe in all honesty that he is receiving equal value then it complies with the test & would not be deemed a donation; but must not be absurd. Inadequacy of price or aleatory character not sufficient ground to cancel contract of sale; inadequacy can show vitiation of consent & sale may be annulled based on vice but not on inadequacy 6. Consensual – meeting of minds makes a perfect contract of sale but needs delivery to consummate. 7. Title & not a mode – title gives rise to an obligation to transfer; it is a mode w/c actually transfers ownership STAGES IN LIFE OF CONTRACT OF SALE: 1. negotiation 2. perfection by mere consent; performance may be demanded (specific performance) 3. consummation DISTINGUISHED FROM OTHER CONTRACTS: 1. Donation donation is gratuitous; sale is onerous donation is formal contract; sale is consensual donation is governed by law on donation; sale is governed by law on sales 2. Barter in barter, the consideration is the giving of a thing; in sale, it is giving of money as payment both are governed by law on sales; both are species of the genus sales if consideration consists party in money & partly by thing – look at manifest intention; if intention is not clear (1468): a. value of thing is equal or less than amount of money – sale b. value of thing is more than amount of money – barter 3. Contract for piece of work test in article 1467: a. contract for delivery of an article which the vendor in the 1
