6 11 2010

 

327 scra 482

Contract of Carriage

 

Private respondent Amadeo Seno purchased from Singapore Airlines in Manila conjunction tickets. In Geneva, the petitioner decided to forego his trip to Copenhagen, and go straight to New York, private respondent exchanged the unused portion of the conjunction ticket from International Air Transport Association clearing house in Geneva. Private respondent filed an action for damages before the RTC of Cebu for the alleged embarrassment and mental anguish he suffered at the Geneva Airport when the petitioner’s security officers prevented him from boarding the plane, detained him for about an hour and allowed him to board the plane only after all the passengers have boarded.

 

ISSUE: Whether or not the Philippine courts have jurisdiction over the action for damages.

 

HELD: The Supreme Court ruled that the case was properly filed in the Philippines. It held that the petitioner acted as an agent of the Singapore Airlines under IATA rules and as an agent of the principal carrier the petitioner may be held liable under contract of carriage in Manila.
