Instead, A chose to file a case for collection of sum of money only based on their agreement that B will pay A for all the expenses incurred by reason of the accident except for the repair of the car since B will directly pay the same to the A’s insurance company. However, B refused to pay A for his travel expenses and meal allowances when he travels to the repair shop during his routine check-ups on the progress of the repair even after A insisted on B’s agreement to pay all the damages.

- Columbia University brought suit against Jacobsen on two notes signed by him and his parents. The notes represented the balance of tuition he owed the University. Jacobsen counterclaimed for money damages due to Columbia’s deceit or fraudulent misrepresentation. Jacobsen argues that Columbia fraudulently misrepresented that it would teach wisdom, truth, character, enlightenment, and similar virtues and qualities. He specifically cites as support the Columbia motto: “in lumine tuo videbimus lumen” (“In your light we shall see light”); the inscription over the college chapel: “Wisdom dwelleth in the heart of him that hath understanding”; and various excerpts from its brochures, catalogues, and a convocation address made by the University’s president.

During the pendency of the criminal case, X brought an action against A for recovery of the pendant or of its value and damages. The latter interposed the defense of fortuitous event, but the former contends: (a) that the defense of fortuitous event is untenable because there was negligence on the part of the defendant; and (b) that if the defense is tenable, nevertheless, there must be a prior conviction for robbery before it can be availed of.
