Activity 3: Skill-building Activities

Exercise I
 1. Explain the effect of the cause of a contract is found to be false.
Answer: The contract states a valid consideration but such statement is not true is
meant by falsity of cause. The false statement cause the contracts tend to be void or
null. Next is it does not always produce this effect because it may happen that the
hidden but true cause is sufficient to support the contract. If the parties can show that
there is another cause and that said cause is true and lawful, then the parties shall be
bound by their true agreement.
2. S sold his car to B who intends to use the car for kidnapping activities. Is the
contract of sale illegal? Explain.
Answer: Based on what I understand under Article 1351, the particular motives of the
parties in entering into a contract is NOT essential elements of a contract which the
illegality of the buyer’s motive does not render the contract to be void. But there are 2
cases that we may be considered. First is if seller has the knowledge about what will the
buyer do about the car and that makes the contract of sale void while the second case
is when the seller doesn’t have the knowledge what will buyer’s do about the boat and
that makes the contract of sale still validated.
3. S sold his car to B worth P1,000,000 for only P790,000. Is the safe valid?
Explain.
Answer: In this situation, the contract of sale is valid although the price of S car is
inadequate. The fact that the contracting parties has the consent about what is the price
of the car, the transaction is not sufficient ground for the cancellation of a contract.
However, if it is show that B induced S to sell his car through the fraud, mistake or
undue influence, S has the right to have the sale annulled.
