Mindanao university ordered to close law programs

  The Legal Education Board (LEB) has ordered the Mindanao State University to close its law programs in all its campuses starting academic year 2025-2026 after it approved a resolution canceling MSU’s accreditation. The order stemmed from MSU’s refusal to recognize LEB’s supervisory authority and for asserting that it is not bound by the board’s orders, policies and guidelines on legal education. “The MSU is no longer authorized to offer the basic law program in the country,”  the LEB said. The board made permanent the cease and desist order it issued against MSU’s extension law programs on its campuses in Tawi-Tawi, Sulu and Maguindanao. It expressed concern over what it described as MSU’s “dismal” performance in the Bar examinations, noting the school’s passing rate since 2013 has been below the national passing percentage.

 SUGGESTED ANSWERS TO THE 2020/21 BAR EXAMINATIONS IN CIVIL LAW | Question #12

A seller posted an online advertisement for a “4-volume set of Tolentino’s Commentaries and Jurisprudence on the Civil Code of the Philippines, 100 pesos only.” A Bar candidate excitedly ordered it and paid through GCash. However, when the set was delivered, tears started to well in the Bar candidate’s eyes. Much to the Bar candidate’s bewilderment, the author was not Arturo Tolentino, the legal luminary as the candidate was made to expect, but Lorna Tolentino, the noted actor.

The Bar candidate believes that the contract of sale should be rescinded and that damages are also proper.

Is the Bar candidate’s position legally sound? Explain briefly.

SUGGESTED ANSWER: 


No, the bar candidate’s position is not legally sound because the contract may not be rescinded, either pursuant to Article 1381 or Article 1191 of the Civil Code. It cannot be rescinded under Article 1191 because rescission here is based on breach committed by the party in a reciprocal obligation. There was no breach committed by the online seller because the obligation was to deliver the books which it complied with. 

The contract is also not rescissible under any of the grounds enumerated in Article 1381 because it is not one involving lesion or economic prejudice suffered by a ward or an absentee and is not also one entered into in fraud of creditors.

There being no breach of the seller’s obligation, there would be no basis for the bar candidate’s claim for damages.
