    A corporation, Cargill, filed a case against San Fernando Trading for moral damages for failing to deliver molasses on schedule. As a general rule, corporations cannot be awarded moral damages. However, there is an exception if the corporation had a good reputation damaged by the offender's actions. In this case, San Fernando did not provide sufficient evidence that it fell within the exception. Moral damages are also generally not recoverable for contractual issues unless bad faith is proven.
