Marcelo Generoso vs. Universal Textile Mills, Inc.

HEIRS OF MARCELO GENEROSO, represented by the widow, NORMA D. GENEROSO, plaintiff-appellees, vs. UNIVERSAL TEXTILE MILLS, INC., defendant-appellant.

G.R. No. L-28586 | 1980-01-22

D E C I S I O N


AQUINO, J.:

The legal issue in this case is whether an employer who had already paid workmen's compensation to the heirs of an employee, who was killed by his fellow employee, is still liable to pay to the same heirs the subsidiary civil liability provided for in article 103 of the Revised Penal Code in view of the insolvency of the killer.

Universal Textile Mills, Inc. appealed from the decision of the Court of First Instance of Manila dated September 8, 1967, ordering it to pay the heirs of Marcelo Generoso the indemnity of six thousand pesos plus one thousand pesos as attorney's fees (Civil Case No. 69214).
