21 JUSTICE MARVIC LEONEN CASE DOCTRINES

THE INSULAR ASSURANCE CO., LTD. vs. THE HEIRS OF JOSE H. ALVAREZ
G.R. No. 207526 / October 03, 2018
G.R. No. 210156 / October 03, 2018

The Insurance Code dispenses with proof of fraudulent intent in cases of rescission
due to concealment, but not so in cases of rescission due to false representations.
When an abundance of available documentary evidence can be referenced to
demonstrate a design to defraud, presenting a singular document with an erroneous
entry does not qualify as clear and convincing proof of fraudulent intent. Neither does
belatedly invoking just one other document, which was not even authored by the
alleged miscreant.

CEZAR YATCO REAL ESTATE SERVICES, INC. vs. BEL-AIR VILLAGE


ASSOCIATION, INC.
G.R. No. 211780 / November 21, 2018

Section 47 (4) of the Corporation Code categorically states that private corporations
may provide in their by-laws for the 'form of proxies of stockholders and members
and the manner of voting them.' Consistent therewith, Section 89 of the same Code
provides: '[u]nless otherwise provided by the articles of incorporation or by-laws, a
member may vote by proxy in accordance with the provisions of the Code.' In
addition, Section 30 of Resolution No. 770 of the HLURB Board of Commissioners
(Framework for Governance of Homeowners Associations) states that (P)roxies shall
be in writing and signed by the member. . . . There is no requirement that the same
be notarized. Thus, the recognized rule and practice on proxy form is summarized as
follows . . . the formalities of a proxy may be provided for in the [b]y-[l]aws. In the
absence of any provision in the [b]y-laws, the proxy need not comply with the
minimum requirements provided for in Section 58 . . . Hence the by-laws of BAVA is
controlling insofar as execution of proxies is concerned . . . the entire [b]y-laws of
BAVA readily reveals that nowhere therein is it required that the proxy forms be in
any particular form, much less be in a public document or through a special power of
attorney."

SPOUSES RAINIER JOSE M. YULO vs. BANK OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS


G.R. No. 217044 / January 16, 2019

When issuing a pre-screened or pre-approved credit card, the credit card provider
must prove that its client read and consented to the terms and conditions governing
the credit card's use. Failure to prove consent means that the client cannot be bound
by the provisions of the terms and conditions, despite admitted use of the credit card.
