Salonga v. Farrales


Salonga v. Farrales
G.R. No. L-47088 July 10, 1981
Fernandez, J.

Held:

                Social justice cannot be invoked to trample on the rights of property owners who under our Constitution and laws are also entitled to protection. The social justice consecrated in our constitution was not intended to take away rights from a person and give them to another who is not entitled thereto. Evidently, the plea for social justice cannot nullify the law on obligations and contracts, and is, therefore, beyond the power of the Court to grant.
