SALES
Chapter 1
NATURE AND FORM OF THE CONTRACT
Article 1458. By the contract of sale one of the contracting parties obligates himself to transfer the ownership of
and to deliver a determinate thing, and the other to pay
therefor a price certain in money or its equivalent.
A contract of sale may be absolute or conditional.
COMMENT:
! "#$! %&'()*! +),-).
Sale is a contract where one party (seller or vendor)
obligates himself to transfer the ownership of and to deliver
a determinate thing, while the other party (buyer or vendee)
obligates himself to pay for said thing a price certain in money
or its equivalent. (See Art. 1458, Civil Code).
(2) Historical Notes
Under Roman Law, a sale was termed avenditio. Today,
the French refer to the contract as a venta, while the Spaniards call it a venta. !"#$ %#&'()(*'$ *+$ )"#$ ,*')-.,)$ *+$ /.0#$ ('$
Art. 1458 is taken from Art. 1445 of the Spanish Civil Code,
except that under said Spanish Code, the obligation of the
vendor was merely to “deliver” the thing sold, so that even
if the seller was not the owner, he might still validly sell,
subject to the warranty to maintain the buyer in the legal and
peaceful possession of the thing sold. The Civil Code requires

not only delivery but also the transfer of the ownership of the
thing sold. (Report of the Code Commission, p. 141). However,
the vendor need not be the owner at the time the sale is
1#-+#,)#%2$3)$(/$/4+&,(#')$)".)$"#$(/$)"#$*5'#-$.)$)"#$)(6#$)"#$
thing sold is delivered. (See Art. 1459, Civil Code).
Query: Suppose Art. 1458 did not specify that the seller
must transfer the ownership of the object, does he still have
this obligation?
Answer: Yes, for after all, this transfer of ownership is
clearly the fundamental aim of the contract. A buyer is not
interested in a mere physical transfer: he is after ownership.
(See 3 Castan 12-13).
(3) Essential Characteristics of the Contract of Sale
(a)
Consensual (as distinguished from real), because the
contract is perfected by mere consent.
(NOTE: A real contract is one perfected by delivery,
e.g., the contract of deposit or commodatum.)
(b)
Bilateral reciprocal, because both parties are bound by
obligations dependent upon each other.
(c)
Onerous, because to acquire the rights, valuable consideration must be given.
(d)
Commutative, as a rule, because the values exchanged
are almost equivalent to each other.
(NOTE: By way of exception, some contracts of
sale are aleatory, i.e., what one receives may in time
be greater or smaller than what he has given. Example:
The sale of a genuine sweepstakes ticket.)
(e)
Principal (as distinguished from an accessory contract),
because for the contract of sale to validly exist, there
is no necessity for it to depend upon the existence of
another valid contract. (Examples of accessory contracts
are those of pledge and mortgage.)
(f)
Nominate (as distinguished from an innominate contract)
because the Code refers to it by a special designation or
name, i.e., the contract of sale.

(4) Elements of the Contract of Sale
(a)
Essential elements (those without which there can be no
valid sale):
1)
Consent or meeting of the minds, i.e., consent to
transfer ownership in exchange for the price.
2)
Determinate subject matter (generally, there is no
sale of generic thing; moreover, if the parties differ as to the object, there can be no meeting of the
minds).
3)
Price certain in money or its equivalent (this is the
cause or consideration). (The price need not be in
money.) (Republic v. Phil. Resources Dev. Corp.,
L-10414, Jan. 31, 1958).
Aguinaldo v. Esteban
GR 27289, Apr. 15, 1985
A contract of sale of property, without consideration, and executed by a person who is of low
intelligence, illiterate, and who could not sign his
'.6#$ *-$ .+&7$ "(/$ )"4686.-9:$ (/$ ;*(%2
Leabres v. CA
GR 41837, Dec. 12, 1986
A receipt which merely acknowledges the sum
of P1,000, without any agreement as to the total
purchase price of the land supposedly purchased,
nor to the monthly installment to be paid by the
buyer lacks the requisites of a valid contract sale,
namely: (a) consent or meeting of the minds of the
parties; (b) determinate subject matter; (c) price
certain in money or its equivalent, and, therefore,
the “sale” is not valid nor enforceable.
(b)
Natural elements (those which are inherent in the contract, and which in the absence of any contrary provision,
are deemed to exist in the contract).
