This case has been cited 3 times or more.

	GR NO. 168512 2007-03-20	ORLANDO D. GARCIA v. RANIDA D. SALVADOR YNARES-SANTIAGO, J.
In F.F. Cruz and Co., Inc. v. Court of Appeals, we found the owner of a furniture shop liable for the destruction of the plaintiff's house in a fire which started in his establishment in view of his failure to comply with an ordinance which required the construction of a firewall. In Teague v. Fernandez, we stated that where the very injury which was intended to be prevented by the ordinance has happened, non-compliance with the ordinance was not only an act of negligence, but also the proximate cause of the death.[23]
	GR NO. 158674 2005-10-17	LAPRECIOSISIMA CAGUNGUN v. PLANTERS DEVELOPMENT BANK CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
On the matter of attorney's fees and expenses of litigation, it is settled that the reasons or grounds for the award thereof must be set forth in the decision of the court.[26] An award of attorney's fees, being an exception from the policy of not putting a premium or a penalty on the right to litigate, has since been limited to the grounds specified by law.[27] Article 2208[28] of the Civil Code enumerates the instances where attorney's fees and expenses of litigation can be recovered.
	GR No. 144225 2003-06-17	SPS. GODOFREDO ALFREDO AND CARMEN LIMON ALFREDO v. SPS. ARMANDO BORRAS AND ADELIA LOBATON BORRAS CARPIO, J.
We sustain the award of attorney's fees. The decision of the court must state the grounds for the award of attorney's fees. The trial court complied with this requirement.[65] We agree with the trial court that if it were not for petitioners' unjustified refusal to heed the just and valid demands of Armando and Adelia, the latter would not have been compelled to file this action.
