Question
Spouses Robert and Yollie wanted to sell their house. They found a prospective buyer, Nina. Yollie negotiated with Nina for the sale of the property. They agreed on a fair price of P2 Million. Nina sent Yollie a letter confirming her intention to buy the property. Later, another couple, Marius and Ellen, offered a similar house at a lower price of P1.5 Million. But Nina insisted on buying the house of Robert and Yollie for sentimental reasons. Nina prepared a deed of sale to be signed by the couple and a manager’s check for P2 Million. After receiving the P2 Million, Robert signed the deed of sale. However, Yollie was not able to sign it because she was saying she changed her mind. Yollie filed suit for nullification of the deed of sale and for moral and exemplary damages against Nina. Does Nina have any cause of action against Robert and Yollie?
