VARGAS & COMPANY, plaintiff-appellee, vs. CHAN HANG CHIU ET AL., defendants-appellants.

G.R. No. 8576 | 1915-02-11

D E C I S I O N


MORELAND, J.:

This is an action brought to set aside a judgment of the justice's court of Manila on the ground that the plaintiff here, the defendant in the action in which the judgment was secured, was not served with summons and that, therefore, the justice's court acquired no jurisdiction to render the judgment and that the same is null and void. Judgment was entered in favor of plaintiff declaring the judgment in controversy void and setting it aside. This appeal is from that judgment.

It appears from the record that the plaintiff is a mercantile association duly organized under the laws of the Philippine Islands...
