The decision, written by Associate Justice Pablito Perez, voided the contract between Muhlach and the agency, Pacific Asian Advertising Specialist, Inc. (PAASI), and dismissed the civil case filed by PAASI against Muhlach and Ramos.
The reason: the obligations of both PAASI and Muhlach were not clearly laid out in the said contract.“In hindsight, the parties’ contract could have been written with more precision in order for their intent to be beyond misunderstanding or disagreement,” the CA said.
It was because of the contract’s ambiguity, that the CA said: “leaving the parties where they are is the most equitable resolution of this dispute.”
