    Contract of Sale. By the contract of sale one of the contracting parties obligates himselfto transfer the ownership of and to deliver a determinate thing and the other to paytherefore a price certain in money or its equivalent.

    Contract of Sale Contract to Sell

    Title over the property passes to the buyer

    upon delivery unless there is a contraryagreement

    Ownership is retained by the seller whether or

    not there is delivery. Ownership passes to thebuyer only upon full payment of the price

    Non-payment of the purchase price is anegative resolutory condition, meaning the salebecomes ineffective upon the happening ofsuch condition

    The payment in full is a positive suspensivecondition, meaning, if the purchase price is notpaid, the obligation to deliver and to transferownership on the part of the seller does notbecome effective

    After delivery of the obective, the seller losesownership over it. !nless, the contract is setaside, he cannot recover the obect

    "hether there is delivery or not, the sellerretains the ownership of the obect. #f the seller,due to non-payment of the price is ousting thebuyer from the property, he $seller% is notrescinding the contract of sale but is preciselyenforcing it.

    SALES

    Object Must be Licit or Lawful. There are two kinds of illicit things:a. Illicit per sewhen by its nature it is heinous, immoral or wrongfulb. Illicit per accidenswhen it is prohibited by law

    When is a thing determinate?a.When it is particularly designated or physically segregated from all others of the same

    class.b. The thing is capable of being made determinate, at the time the contract is entered into,

    w/o the necessity of a new or further agreement between the parties.

    #mptio rei speratae$a sale of an e2pected thing subect to the condition that the thing will cometo e2istence. #f the thing did not come into e2istence, the contract is not effective and the buyerhas no obligation to pay the price. (resumption is in favor of this 5ind of sale, because it is morein 5eeping with the commutative character of a sale.

    #mptio spei$a sale of a hope or e2pectancy. The contracting parties intended that contract ofsale to e2ist at all events, whether or not the e2pected thing will come into e2istence such that thebuyer will have to pay the purchase price, such that the contract becomes aleatory in nature.

    #mptio rei speratae vs. #mptio spei#mptio rei speratae #mptio spei

    'ale of a thing having a potential e2istence 'ale of a mere hope or e2pectancy

    The uncertainty is with regard the quantity andquality but not with regard the e2istence of thething

    The uncertainty is with regard the e2istence ofthe thing

    The contract deals with a future thing The contract deals with a present thing+thehope or e2pectancy

    The sale is subect to the condition that thething should e2ist, so that if it does not, there isno contract for lac5 of an essential requisite

    The sale produces effects eventhough the thingitself does not come into e2istence, since thesubect matter is the hope itself

    Future Goods that may be subject of a contract of sale. 6oods to be manufactured yet. 6oods to be acquired by the seller after the perfection of contract of sale. 6oods that depends upon a contingency that may or may not happen
