Pledge and mortgage

1. How does voluntary pledge differ from legal pledge?


- Voluntary pledge is created by the will of the parties. Legal
pledge on the other hand is pledge by operation of law; right
of a person to retain a thing until he receives payment of his
claim.
2. Pledge is a subsidiary contract. Explain.
- Pledge is subsidiary contract because the obligation incurred
does not arise until the fulfillment of the principal obligation
that is secured.
3. In order to secure the payment of his debt, A gave his ring to B as
security for a P10,000.00 loan.
a. Can B use the ring?
- No, B cannot use the ring. Unless, there is an authority of A.
The law states that the creditor cannot use the thing pledged
without the authority of the owner and if he should do so or
should misuse the thing in any other way, the owner may ask
that it be judicially or extrajudicially deposited.
b. In case A cannot pay, can B automatically appropriate the ring to
himself?
- No, B cannot appropriate the ring to himself. The law says that
the creditor cannot appropriate the things given by way of
pledge or mortgage, or dispose of them. Any stipulation to the
contrary is null and void.

4. A borrowed P50,000 from B and deposited his ipad worth P20,000,


his cellphone worth P15,000 and a laptop worth P15,000 to secure
his obligation. Should A be able to pay B, P15,000, can A demand
from B the return of the cellphone or the laptop? Explain.
- Yes, A shall have the right to the extinguishment of the pledge
or mortgage. A can demand B the return of either the
cellphone or laptop because the payment is equal to 15,000
which is the same value of the cellphone or laptop being
deposited.
5. Distinguish pledge from mortgage.
- Pledge is typically utilized where the charge needs to be
created over movable assets such as to avail the debt. On the
other hand, Mortgage is used when the securities provided is
an immovable asset/property by the borrowers to obtain the
loans
6. A used his ring worth P50,000 to secure a P20,000 debt he got from
B. When A was not able to pay, B sold the thing pledge to C for
P15,000. Considering that there is still an unpaid balance of P5,000,
can B collect such amount from A?

7. How does legal mortgage differ from equitable mortgage?

- A legal mortgage is the document that accurately outlines your


financial obligation to the mortgagee and legally complies with
the requirements of the property's jurisdiction. If any part of a
mortgage document is incorrect or missing, which renders it an
invalid legal document, it becomes an equitable mortgage. An
equitable mortgage arises where the formalities to create a
legal mortgage have not been completed or where the asset
being mortgaged is only an equitable interest.
