What is a contract of carriage?

A contract of carriage is defined as one whereby a certain person or association of persons obligate themselves to transport persons, things, or news from one place to another for a fixed price. (Cathay Pacific Airways v. Reyes, G.R. No. 185891, June 26, 2013)

The Supreme Court decides: Illegally dismissed probationary employees, like regular employees are entitled to backwages not only until the expired portion of their probationary period but covering the time from when compensation was withheld up to reinstatement.

In the case of C.P. Reyes Hospital vs. Barbosa, G.R. No. 228357, April 16, 2024, the Supreme Court ruled that backwages due to the illegally dismissed probationary employees are not limited to the unexpired portion of the probationary period but cover the time when the compensation was withheld up to reinstatement.
