FOR CAPITOL PROPERTY SUIT
Order SM to pay P40.4M
in damages, Ayala asks
BY CARLA GOMEZ
AyalaLand Inc. is asking the Bacolod Regional Trial Court Branch 48 to dismiss for lack of merit a suit filed by SM Prime Holdings Inc. against it and to order SMPHI to pay P40.5 million in damages and attorney’s fees.
In May, SMPHI filed Civil Case No. 14-14323 against Negros Occidental provincial government officials, led by Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr., and ALI before RTC Branch 48, seeking the nullification of a deed of conditional sale and contract of lease the defendants entered into involving the Capitol’s 7.7-hectare prime property in Bacolod City.
In its complaint, SMPHI claimed that the provincial government fraudulently circumvented the law in executing the deed of conditional sale and contract of lease in favor of ALI. Both the provincial government and ALI have denied that fraud was committed, in their answers to the suit.
