| Lest it be forgotten, our courts are courts of both law and equity.[17] The petitioner merely claims that the omissions of respondents amount to fraud, while the records show that the public benefitted from the services of respondents. Given these, this Court will remain true to the rule of substantial justice and direct the payment of compensation to the contractors, who have completed their services for the government's Mt. Pinatubo Rehabilitation Project. Otherwise, urgent actions for emergency work in the future would be discouraged. | |||||

| Further quoting Justice Felix Frankfurter's opinion in Griffin v. People,[24] he said, "it is much more conducive to law's self-respect to recognize candidly the considerations that give prospective content to a new pronouncement of law. That this is consonant with the spirit of our law and justified by those considerations of reason which should dominate the law has been luminously expounded by Mr. Justice Cardozo shortly before he came here and in an opinion which he wrote for the Court." | |||||
