Contracts; duty of courts - G.R. No. 169901

G.R. No. 169901
(click the link)


"A PARTY enters into an agreement or contract with an eye to reap benefits therefrom or be relieved of an oppressive economic condition. The other party likewise assumes that the agreement would be advantageous to him. But just like in any other human undertaking, the end-result may not be as sweet as expected. The problem could not be resolved by any other means but to litigate. Courts, however, are not defenders of bad bargains. At most, they only declare the rights and obligations of the parties to the contract in order to preserve sanctity of the same. We are confronted in this case with this legal predicament."
