[CIVIL LAW LECTURE] Article 21 and Breach of Promise to Marry | INTRO TO PERSONS

Описание: Thank you so much, kapatid, once again, for sharing your time with me. Last week, we talked about Article 20 of the Civil Code, in relation to Article 19. We talked about causes of action, no cause of action and what it means when a party lacks a cause of action.

We also talked about the requisites for a case to prosper under Article 20 of the Civil Code. We talked about the difference between injury and damage, and what happens when these two things concur. Finally, we also discussed the concept of damnum absque injuria or damage without injury.

Just as I’ve mentioned in our previous lessons, Article 19 of the Civil Code does not exist in a vacuum. It has to be discussed in the context of Articles 20 and 21. In tonight’s lesson, we will compare Articles 20 and 21 and correlate them with Article 19 or the principle of abuse of rights.

I hope you pay attention, kapatid, because these three articles and Article 36 of the Civil Code are all considered bar matters under the Chapter on Human Relations. For most professors, these are the only things you will need to learn here.

At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:

1. Distinguish the causes of action under Articles 20 and 21 of the Civil Code;
2. Identify cases where breach of promise to marry becomes an actionable wrong.
3. Enumerate instances where volenti non fit injuria should apply;

All of this and more. Coming right up.
