The case of Cui vs Cui involves the administration of Hospicio De San Jose Barili, a charitable institution established by Pedro and Benigna Cui to care for the indigent. The institution was given corporate status through an act of the Philippine Legislature. When the previous administrator resigned, Antonio Cui took over the role pursuant to an agreement, though his brother Jesus was not informed prior. Jesus then challenged Antonio's assumption of the administrator position without proper notice or nomination by the founding families as required.
