PHILIPPINE SUPREME COURT DECISIONS

EN BANC

[G.R. No. L-27516. October 19, 1967.]

INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES and/or LUZON BROKERAGE CORPORATION, Defendants-Appellees.

Quasha, Asperilla & Blanco for plaintiff.

The Solicitor General for defendants.


SYLLABUS


1. STATE; SUIT AGAINST STATE; RULE. — The State may not be sued without its consent (Equitable v. Smith Bell, L-24383, August 26, 1967; Insurance Company v. Republic, L-26532, August 30, 1967)


D E C I S I O N


SANCHEZ, J.:


Suit against the Republic, as arrastre operator and/or Luzon Brokerage Corporation, which took custody from the Republic and delivered the imported cargo to the consignee, to recover losses and damages of P13,616.06, plus interest, attorneys’ fees and costs. The lower court’s pre-trial order of February 13, 1967 sustained Republic’s plea of non-suitability, dismissed the case against it. Hence, this appeal.

The case must go for the Republic. A rule to which jurisprudence has clung with unwavering grasp is that plaintiff’s being a claim — liquidated against the State, the latter may not be sued without its consent (Equitable v. Smith, L-24383, August 26, 1967; Insurance Co. v. Republic, L-26532, August 30, 1967)

Order affirmed. Costs against plaintiff. So ordered.

Concepcion, C.J., Reyes, J.B.L., Dizon, Makalintal, Bengzon, J.P., Zaldivar, Castro, Angeles and Fernando, JJ., concur.
