Metro Manila Transit Corporation vs. Court of Appeals and Nenita Custodio

METRO MANILA TRANSIT CORPORATION, petitioner, vs. THE COURT OF APPEALS and NENITA CUSTODIO, respondents.

G.R. No. 104408 | 1993-06-21

D E C I S I O N

REGALADO, J.:

This appeal calls for a review of the legal validity and sufficiency of petitioner's invocation of due diligence in the selection and supervision of employees as its defense against liability resulting from a vehicular collision. With the facility by which such a defense can be contrived and our country having reputedly the highest traffic accident rate in its geographical region, it is indeed high time for us to once again address this matter which poses not only a litigation issue for the courts but affects the very safety of our streets.

The facts of the case at bar are recounted for us by respondent...
