Zuluaga v. De Erquiaga

This is a civil case decided by the Supreme Court of the Philippines in 1958. The case involves plaintiffs Manuel, Angel, Rosario, and Julia Zuluaga who sued defendants Santiago and Buenaventura de Erquiaga for the sum of P20,000 with interest, liquidated damages, and costs. The lower court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, and the defendants appealed the decision. The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the lower court, ordering the defendants to pay the plaintiffs the amount of P20,000 with interest, liquidated damages, and costs. The legal issue in this case is the validity of the lower court's decision to grant the plaintiffs' claim against the defendants.
