Study Notes
Introduction to Law Quiz 2
- Jim, a taxi driver, was convicted of reckless imprudence resulting in the death of a 12-year-old. The court ruled Gem, the taxi company, liable for damages (P800,000.00). Gem, despite insolvency, is obligated to pay the damages. The defense of a good father of a family is irrelevant here in the employee-employer relationship regarding liability.
- In Picart vs. Smith, the driver was found liable for damages due to the doctrine of last clear chance. The horseback rider was initially at fault.
- The principle of relativity of contracts states that a party not part of a contract cannot be held liable for contract breach. Jim, not a party to the contract between Gem and Gino, is not liable for damages.
- In Africa vs. Caltex, the principle of res ipsa loquitur was applied which finds that the particular circumstances of the negligent act, in this case a fire, point to a causal link. Therefore, the plaintiffs-claimants of damages failed to prove causation therefore they did not receive damages.
- Damage refers to the harmful event from a violation of a legal right. Injury, itself, is a violation of legal rights.
- Seasonal and project employees do not enjoy the same security of tenure afforded to regular employees.
- In Saludaga vs. FEU, the court ruled FEU liable for culpa aquiliana (a negligence that gave rise to harm or damages) for the accidental shooting of a student by a security guard on campus.
- The employer is obliged to pay employers a night shift differential of not less than 10% of regular wage between 11 pm-6am.
- Overtime pay is required at a minimum of the employee's regular wage plus 15% for any work performed beyond eight-hour employment duration.
- A 13th-month pay is owed to the employee if they have been employed for two years at a given employer in Manila.
- Employers may require employees to work additional hours to compensate for time missed, but it's not legally required under the current laws.
