A
motion
for
reconsideration
filed
by
the
defendantsappellants was denied.
As earlier stated, the then Court of Appeals certified the
case to us considering that the appeal involves pure
questions of law.
The defendants-appellants assigned the following
alleged errors of the lower court:
First Assignment of Error
THE LOWER COURT ERRED IN NOT HOLDING THE
CON
TRACT TO SELL (ANNEX A" OF COMPLIANCE) AS
HAVING
BEEN LEGALLY AND VALIDLY CANCELLED.
Second Assignment of Error
EVEN ASSUMING ARGUENDO THAT THE SAID
CONTRACT
TO SELL HAS NOT BEEN LEGALLY AND VALIDLY
CANCELLED, THE LOWER COURT ERRED IN
ORDERING
DEFENDANTS TO EXECUTE A FINAL DEED OF SALE
IN
FAVOR OF THE PLAINTIFF.
Third Assignment of Error
THE LOWER COURT ERRED IN ORDERING
DEFENDANTS
TO PAY PLAINTIFFS THE SUM OF P500.00 AS
ATTORNEYS
FEES.
The main issue to be resolved is whether or not the
contract to sell has been automatically and validly

law. x x x.
We see no conflict between this ruling and the previous
jurisprudence of this Court invoked by respondent declaring that
judicial action is necessary for the resolution of a reciprocal
obligation; (Ocejo, Perez & Co. v. International Banking Corp., 37
Phil. 631; Republic v. Hospital de San Juan de Dios, et al., 84 Phil.
820) since in every case where the extrajudicial resolution is
contested only the final award of the court of competent jurisdiction
can conclusively settle whether the resolution was proper or not. It
is in this sense that judicial action will be necessary, as without it,
the extrajudicial resolution will remain contestable and subject to
judicial invalidation, unless attack thereon should become barred
by acquiescence, estoppel or prescription.
The defendants-appellants state that the plaintif f sappellees violated Section two of the contract to sell which
provides:
