Question

During a heavy storm, a neighbor notices that a titled residential property is at risk of flood. Without the owner's knowledge or consent, the neighbor hires a contractor, pumps out water, and purchases sandbags, paying PHP 50,000 from his own funds to preserve the property. When the owner returns, she asks what she owes under Philippine law on negotiorum gestio. Which statement is correct?

Choose the Best Answer

If the gestor acted in good faith, the owner must reimburse him for all expenses, irrespective of necessity. The owner must reimburse the gestor for all expenses incurred, even if the actions were not strictly necessary to preserve the property. Reimbursement arises automatically upon benefit to the owner; no need to prove necessity or owner consent. The owner is bound to reimburse only for the expenses that were strictly necessary to preserve the property; expenses that were merely useful or for improvements require the owner's consent or ratification.
