Pros and Cons of a Joint Venture | 8 November 2024
A joint venture, defined as an agreement between two parties to enter into a commercial undertaking, may fall under a partnership for a limited purpose.
Joint venture is an organization formed for some temporary purpose.
A joint venture, therefore, is akin to a partnership, the essential elements of which are as follows:
(1) an agreement to contribute money, property, or industry to a common fund; and
(2) an intent to divide the profits among the contracting parties.
(Carlos Valdes vs. La Colina Development Corporation, G.R. No. 208140, July 12, 2021)
THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES: Statements against public officers do not constitute defamation when made in relation to their discharge of official duties

No. 246824, December 6, 2023, the Supreme Court emphasized that statements against public officers do not constitute oral defamation when made in relation to their discharge of official duties, unless the prosecution establishes that they were uttered with actual malice.
