Case Title : Firme vs Bukal Corp.


G.R. No. 146608, October 23, 2003

Facts

Spouses Constante and Azucena Firme are the registered owners of a parcel of land located on
Dahlia Avenue, Fairview Park, Quezon City. Renato de Castro, the vice president of Bukal Enterprises and
Development Corporation authorized his friend, Teodoro Aviles, a broker, to negotiate with the Spouses
Firme for the purchase of the Property. On 28 March 1995, Bukal Enterprises filed a complaint for specific
performance and damages with the trial court, alleging that the Spouses Firme reneged on their
agreement to sell the Property

The trial court held there was no perfected contract of sale as Bukal Enterprises failed to
establish that the Spouses Firme gave their consent to the sale of the Property; and that Aviles had no
valid authority to bind Bukal Enterprises in the sale transaction.

ISSUES:

Whether there was a perfected contract between the Spouses Firme and Bukal Enterprises, the
latter allegedly being represented by Aviles.

Ruling

No. The Supreme Court held Aviles, who negotiated the purchase of the Property, is neither an
officer of Bukal Enterprises nor a member of the Board of Directors of Bukal Enterprises. There is no
Board Resolution authorizing Aviles to negotiate and purchase the Property for Bukal Enterprises. There
is also no evidence to prove that Bukal Enterprises approved whatever transaction Aviles made with the
Spouses Firme
