Grandwood then filed a petition for consignation, mandamus, and damages before
the RTC claiming its right to redeem the property. The trial court dismissed
the petition and ruled that White Marketing acquired all the rights of
Metrobank within the mortgage contract assigned to CGAM3. The CA reversed the
RTC and remanded the case to the latter for the determination of the
redemption price. The CA ruled that the clerk of court should have accepted
the consigned amount for the redemption of the property.
RULING:
ISSUE Yes. By the assignment of credit, White Marketing entered
Metrobank's shoes. A contracting party's assignees remain bound by
Whether White Marketing was subrogated to the first party's transaction under the relativity principle.
Metrobank and therefore entitled to a Jurisprudence states that when an individual assigns his credit to
shorter a different person, the latter is deemed subrogated to the rights
redemption period under the General Banking also because of the obligations of the previous.
Law
An assignor does not obtain additional privileges than those
relating to the assignor and conveniently stands inside the
latter's shoes. Under its mortgage deal with Grandwood, ARC
received all of Metrobank's rights, privileges, and commitments.
Under Section 47 of the General Banking Rule, White Marketing is
entitled to a shorter redemption cycle.
