Material-men

In discussing Art. 2242 of the New Civil Code, Jurado has this on page 1228 of his book Civil Law Reviewer, 2009 Edition:


Jurado missed a few things here. First, give should be gives. Next, material-men should properly be material men as seen here.

Most importantly, as this is a direct quote, Jurado should have bracketed his insertions which is material-men.  He also left out the the word unregistered and used obligor instead of obligors.

The SC decision, from G.R. Nos. L-10817-18 says:
A close examination of the provision of the Civil Code invoked by appellant reveals that the law gives preference to unregistered refectionary credits only with respect to the real estate upon which the refection or work was made. This being so, the inevitable conclusion must be that the lien so created attaches merely to the immovable property for the construction or repair of which the obligation was incurred. Evidently, therefore, the lien in favor of appellant for the unpaid value of the lumber used in the construction of the building attaches only to said structure and to no other property of the obligors.

Lazy days, lazy weekend.

No posting today and perhaps tomorrow.

Either the authors are getting better in the last part of their books or I simply missed the typos. What's sure is that semi-finals are due this coming week and we haven't even met since the midterms for one of our subjects that falls on the Friday. It was cancelled yesterday because the undergrads were using the grounds for their Valentine's activity and the noise is just too much inside the classrooms.

Lazy days

OK, just being lazy yesterday and today. So no posting. Actually there are so many reports to do, at the office and at school. Solution: watch videos. Hehehe! But I'll be back next weekend. Semi finals on the 19th to 21st yet. Just paid all school fees yesterday and got my official grades for the first semester. Finally, I got my grade from Legal Research. Hope there is no storm again after the exams so the family can go on with its much-delayed vacation to Panglao which was first cancelled during the Bohol earthquake, then by Typhoon Basyang, the typhoon that never was.

He he be

My family and I are supposed to be in Panglao today since Friday but when we arrived at the pier area for our trip on board Supercat we were turned back because no boats were allowed to travel due to Depression Basyang. As it turned out it was all sunshine in Panglao while we missed the view the second time. See here for our first trip woes.

Anyway, here's a few minor typos, so far after 300 pages, from Remedial Law Compendium, Volume I, Tenth Edition (2010) by Florenz D. Regalado.

Paras also does this type of switching. See here and here.
