LAWS AND JURISPRUDENCE
2. In the case of Spouse Pajares vs. Remarkable Laundry and Dry Cleaning,
GR No. 212690, February 20, 2017, Breach of contract may give rise to an
action for specific performance or rescission of contract. It may also be the
cause of action in a complaint for damages filed pursuant to Art. 1170 of the
Civil Code. In the specific performance and rescission of contract cases, the
subject matter is incapable of pecuniary estimation, hence jurisdiction
belongs to the Regional Trial Court (RTC);
