ACCOUNT
include
necessary
and
indispensable
defendants
without
whom no final
determination can be had
in the action and in
order
that
complete relief is to be accorded as
between those already parties.
the amendments sought to be
introduced do
not change the main
causes of action in the
original complaint
and the reliefs demanded
and to allow
amendments is the rule, and to refuse them
the exception and in order that the
real
question between the parties may be
properly and justly threshed out in a
single
of actions.
COUNTERCLAIM
denied specifically not only the allegation
that respondent Tan is the widow of Tee Hoon
his legitimate wife was Ang Siok Tin still
living and with whom he had four (4)
legitimate children, a twin born in 1942, and
two others born in 1949 and 1965, all
presently residing in Hongkong,
proper liquidation had been regularly
made of the business of the partnership and
Tee Hoon used to receive his just share until
his death, as a result of which the
partnership
was
dissolved
and
what
corresponded to him were all given to his
wife and children.
AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES:
no legal capacity to sue as such,
considering that the legitimate wife together
with their children are still alive.
claim or demand has been paid, waived
abandoned or otherwise extinguished as
evidenced by the 'quitclaim'
even before the death of Tee Hoon Lim Po
Chuan, the plaintiff was no longer his
common law wife and even though she was
not entitled to anything left by Tee Hoon
Lim Po Chuan, yet, out of the kindness and
generosity on the part of the defendants,
particularly Antonio Lain Tanhu, who, was
inspiring to be monk and in fact he is now a
monk, plaintiff was given a substantial
amount evidenced by the 'quitclaim'
defendants have acquired properties out
of their own personal fund and certainly not
from the funds belonging to the partnership
it would have been impossible to buy
properties from funds belonging to the
partnership without the other partners
knowing about it considering that the
amount taken allegedly is quite big and with
such big amount withdrawn the partnership
would have been insolvent.
COUNTERCLAIM:
plaintiff knew and was aware she was
merely the common-law wife of Tee Hoon Lim
Po Chuan and that the lawful and legal is still
living, together with the legitimate children,
and yet she deliberately suppressed this fact,
thus showing her bad faith.
plaintiff was aware and had knowledge
about the 'quitclaim', even though she was
not entitled to it, and yet she falsely claimed
that defendants refused even to see her and
for filing this unfounded, baseless, futile and
puerile complaint,
the date set for the pre-trial, both of the
two defendants-spouses the Lim Tanhus and
Ng Suas, did not appear, for which reason,
upon motion of plaintiff were all "declared in
DEFAULT as of February 3, 1973.
