Exercise 1

1. The seller agreed to sell and deliver to the buyer on a certain date 10 sacks of Denurado
rice for P15,000. On the date designated, the buyer without any legal ground or valid
reason, refused to accept delivery. Is the buyer liable for damages? Explain.

valid reasons and legal grounds. Under Article 1596, the seller may maintain an action against
the buyer for damages for non-acceptance.

The seller can file an action against the buyer for damages for the refusal or non-acceptance of

the washing machine, the buyer failed to pay the price on the date agreed upon. What

The seller can file an action for the payment of the price. Under Article 1595, the seller may
maintain an action against the buyer for the price of the goods when the ownership has passed
to the buyer and he wrongfully neglects or refuses to pay for it. In the case at hand, the object
of the contract has been delivered but the buyer failed to pay the price on the date agreed
upon. Hence, the seller may exercise his right of action for the price.
