I. QUASI-DELICT (Articles 2176-2194, New Civil Code [NCC])
a. Introductory concepts
a.1. Nature, Scope and Coverage
Article 2176, NCC
Elcano vs. Hill, G.R. No. L-24803, May 26, 1977
The extinction of civil liability referred to in paragraph (e) of section 3, Rule 111, refers
exclusively to civil liability founded on Article 100 of the RPC, whereas the civil
liability for the same act considered as a quasi-delict only and not as a crime is not
extinguished even by declaration in the criminal case that the criminal act charged has
not happened or has not been committed by the accused.
Gashem Shookat Baksh vs. Court of Appeals, et al., G.R. No. 97336, February 19, 1993.
Where a man’s promise to marry in fact the proximate cause of the acceptance of his
love by a woman and his representation to fulfill that promise thereafter becomes the
proximate cause of giving of herself unto him sexual congress, proof that he had, in
reality, no intention of marrying her and that the promise was only subtle scheme or
deceptive device to entice or inveigle her to accept him and obtain her consent to sexual
act could justify the award of damages pursuant to Article 21 not because of such
breach of promise to marry but because of the fraud and deceit behind it, and the willful
injury to her honor and reputation which followed thereafter. It is essential however,
that such injury should have been committed in a manner contrary to morals, good
customs, or public policy.
Coca-Cola Bottlers Phils., Inc. vs. Court of Appeals, et al., G.R. No. 110295, October 18, 1993.
Liability for quasi-delict may still exist despite the presence of contractual relations.
The liabilities of a manufacturer or seller of injury-causing products may be based on
negligence, breach of warranty, tort, or other grounds such as fraud, deceit, or
misrepresentation. Quasi-delict, as defined in Article 2176 of the civil code, is
homologous but not identical to tort under the common law, which includes not only
negligence, but also intentional criminal acts, such as assault and battery, false
imprisonment and deceit.
Taylor vs. Manila Electric Company, 16 Phil. 8; Vergara vs. Court of Appeals, G.R. No.77679,
September 30, 1987, 154 SCRA 564
in order to establish his right to a recovery, must establish by competent evidence:
(1) Damages to the plaintiff.
(2) Negligence by act or omission of which defendant personally, or some person for
whose acts it must respond, was guilty.
(3) The connection of cause and effect between the negligence and the damage.
But while we hold that the entry of the plaintiff upon defendant's property without
defendant's express invitation or permission would not have relieved defendant from
responsibility for injuries incurred there by plaintiff, without other fault on his part, if
such injury were attributable to the negligence of the defendant, we are of opinion
that under all the circumstances of this case the negligence of the defendant in
leaving the caps exposed on its premises was not the proximate cause of the injury
received by the plaintiff, which therefore was not, properly speaking, "attributable to
the negligence of the defendant," and, on the other hand, we are satisfied that
plaintiffs action in cutting open the detonating cap and putting match to its contents
was the proximate cause of the explosion and of the resultant injuries inflicted upon
the plaintiff, and that the defendant, therefore is not civilly responsible for the injuries
thus incurred.
