MEMORANDUM
For the Defendant
On May 16, 2011, defendant filed his answer against the plaintiff.
ARGUMENTS
DISCUSSION
2. The second argument is related to the first since the lease contract
presented by plaintiff is fictitious and simulated. Under Article 1409 of
the New Civil Code:
“The following contracts are inexistent and void from the beginning:
x xxxxxxxxxxxxx
2. Those which are absolutely simulated or fictitious;
x xxxxxxxxxxxxx
These contracts cannot be ratified. Neither can the right to set up
the defense of illegality be waived.
In the case of Sps. Barnachea vs. Court of Appeals, July 23, 2008
it was held that the petitioners argue that the respondents’ cause of
action – whether for forcible entry or unlawful detainer – had prescribed
when the ejectment complaint was filed on April 5, 2000. They point out
that the last demand letter (the reckoning date for unlawful) was dated
August 26, 1998 and was received by the petitioners on August 31,
1998; the complaint was filed on April 5, 2000 or more than one (1) after
August 31,1998.
