COURT OF APPEALS AND FRANKLIN VIVES Second Division FACTS Facts: Doronilla is in the process of incorporating his business and to comply with one of the requirements of incorporation, he caused Vives to issue a check which was then deposited in Doronillas savings account. It was agreed that Vives can withdraw his money in a months time. However, what Doronilla did was to open a current account and instructed the bank to debit from the savings account and deposit it in his current account. So when Vives checked the savings account, the money was gone. Issue: Is the contract a mutuum or commodatum? Ruling: Supreme Court held that the contract is a commodatum. Although in a commodatum, the object is a non-consumable thing, there are instances where a consumable thing may be the object of a commodatum, such as when the purpose is not for consumption of the object but merely for exhibition (Art. 1936). Thus, if consumable goods are loaned only for purposes of exhibition, or when the intention of the parties is to lend consumable AFFIRMS/OVERTURNS Did not reiterate or overturn a doctrine, the Supreme Court merely cited a provision, Article 1936 of the Civil Code which provides: Consumable goods may be the subject of commodatum if the purpose of the contract is not the consumption of the object, as when it is merely for exhibition.
