article 1165 by hector s de lein explanation and example
Answer (1)
Article 1165 of the Civil Code of the Philippines states that “obligations arising from contracts have the force of law between the contracting parties and must be complied with in good faith.” This means that when two parties enter into a contract, they are legally bound to follow what they agreed upon, and they must act honestly and fairly in fulfilling their obligations.Example:If Juan hires Ana to paint his house for 5,000 pesos, Juan must pay the agreed amount, and Ana must finish painting the house as promised. If either party fails to do so, the other can demand fulfillment or compensation under the law.
