TOPIC: RULE 39

STATEMENT OF THE FACTS:

Gateway obtained a loan from Solidbank. As a security for said loan, Respondent Gateway assigned to Petitioner
Solidbank the proceeds of its Back-end Services Agreement with Alliance Semiconductor. Respondent failed to pay,
thus, petitioner filed a complaint for collection of a sum of money. A motion for production and Inspection of
Documents was filed on the basis of information received from Alliance that Respondent had already received from
Alliance payment for the Back-end Agreement. The motion was granted. Unsatisfied with the documents produced
by Respondent, Petitioner filed a motion to cite the former in contempt for refusal to produce documents. Motion was
denied. However, the court reprimanded the Respondent for not exerting diligent efforts to produce the documents
and thereafter, pronounced as established, documents not produced by Respondent. The Court of Appeals nullified
the ruling of the trial court.

ISSUE:
