Well-entrenched
is
the
doctrine
that
actual,
compensatory and consequential damages must be proved,
and cannot be presumed. If the proof adduced thereon is
flimsy and insufficient, as in this case, no damages will be
allowed. Verily, the testimonial evidence on alleged
unrealized income earlier referred to is not enough to
warrant the award of damages.
It is too vague and
unspecified to induce faith and reliance. (Veronica Padillo
vs. Court of Appeals, et.al., G.R. No. 119707,
November 29, 2001, De Leon, Jr. J.)
The law could not have meant to impose a penalty on
the right to litigate. Such right is so precious that moral
damages may not be charged on those who may exercise it
erroneously. One may have erred, but error alone is not a
ground for moral damages. (Veronica Padillo vs. Court of
Appeals, et.al., G.R. No. 119707, November 29, 2001,
De Leon, Jr. J.)
-For their obstinate refusal to vacate the premises when
demanded to do so, the defendants are liable to pay rent as
reasonable compensation for the occupancy and use of the
property. Where the owner had been unjustly deprived of
the use of his property, he is entitled to a reasonable rent for
the occupancy and utilization of said property. (Delos Reyes
vs. Pastorfide, 2 SCRA 706)
