paglilinaw

Hi po. yong cousin ko po, nag aask ng help for legal advise. since wla akong knowledge more on this, i just wanna put his message. Kasi po ung estafa case sa kanya ay na settle na nya, ibig sabihin he pay the full amount charge to him. Now, ano daw step ang pwde nya gawin at isubmit sa fiscal. In fact, una daw po nagkaron sila ng arrangement for withdrawal the case. Tapos bigla nalng sumulat sa kanya, na cancel ung withdrawal nila. Pero lately lang, nabayadan na nya ng buo ung principal na charge sa kanya. Now, nagdi demand ung counsel sa kabila to pay the interest and other miscellaneous expenses. Kilangan pa po ba nya bayaran yan since hindi naman kasama sa amount na nai file nila.Tapos sabi daw ng counsel sa kabila, bilisan daw at baka hindi mahabol at mapa issuehan sya ng warrant of arrest.Confuse sya regardinh this. Gusto nya malaman kung anong move ang pwde nyang gawin. Salamat po ng marami.

he should not have paid anything until there was a clear agreement. mere payment does not extinguish the criminal liability.

however, if he can agree to pay the rest later on, then he can claim that his obligation was converted to a mere loan.

ibig sabihin po di na nya kilangan pa bayaran ung ibang inaask sa kanya. since binayaran na nya ung amount na na ifile sa kanya sa fiscal. kasi kinukulit sya ng abogado sa kabila infact hinihingian daw po sya ng separate check para sa abogado lang ng kabila.Please clarify us on these matter. Salamat sa inyong tulong.

magkano po ang attorney's fee sa estafa case na worth 800k.

does he have any proof that he paid for the amounts claimed, and that it was received by an authorized representative of the complainant? he should just submit this to the fiscal. he will have to see how the fiscal reacts given that there is no payment of other damages.

note, he can still be made liable for estafa unless there is a waiver. his mere repayment does not necessarily exculpate him.
