Abad - Legal Writing - Chapter 8

Mary Banag, a 6-year-old girl, went to Arthur Sison's home to buy ice candies but received no answer when calling out. She opened the unlocked gate and was attacked by Sison's dog, suffering physical injuries. While Sison claims he is not liable since he was napping and a sign warned of the dog, Peter Banag claims Sison is liable for damages caused by his dog attacking Mary. The sole issue is whether Arthur Sison is liable for moral damages resulting from his dog attacking Mary.

  • Statement of the Issue: Explores the central legal question regarding the liability of Arthur Sison for moral damages.
  • Statement of Facts: Provides a detailed account of events surrounding Mary Banag and Arthur Sison, including the incident in question and contextual background.

Statement of Facts

Mary Banag, a six-year-old daughter of Peter Banag, was going to buy ice-candies which
were sold at the residence of Arthur Sison on one Saturday afternoon of September 12 at around
3 P.M. No one answered the childs call to buy ice-candies, therefore she tried yielding the gate,
which was left unlocked. The dog came out of the gate and attacked Mary causing her physical
injuries.
Peter Banag claims that Sison is liable for damages suffered by Mary caused by his dog.
Arthur Sison, on the other hand claims that he is not liable for such damages for he was napping
at the time of the incident, and that his gate had a written warning posted about a presence of a
dog inside. Also, upon learning that his dog was attacking Mary when he went out of his house,
he immediately commanded the dog to stop so that it may not inflict further injuries. Likewise,
he had brought Mary to a clinic and paid the expenses of Marys medical treatment.

Statement of the Issue

The only issue in this case is whether or not Arthur Sison is liable for moral damages
