Summary
This Supreme Court case involved the dissolution of U.P. Construction Company partnership between William Uy and Bartolome Puzon for government road and bridge construction projects. Uy sued for partnership dissolution after Puzon failed to contribute his agreed P50,000 capital share, instead securing a personal P150,000 PNB loan and giving only P20,000 to the partnership. Puzon violated the partnership by assigning project payments to PNB without Uy's consent, causing P332,539.60 of partnership income to pay his personal debt. Despite Uy contributing P115,453.39 and managing the projects, Puzon terminated the partnership and excluded Uy from management. The Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's dissolution order and P320,103.13 damages award, including P200,000 for unrealized profits under Article 2200 of the Civil Code, establishing important precedent on partnership obligations and lucrum cessans damages in commercial partnerships.
