JUDGMENT; APPEAL FROM AN ORDER ON
RENDITION OF ACCOUNTS.—In accordance with the
doctrine laid down in the case of Natividad vs. Villarica (31
Phil., 172), it is held that an appeal taken from a decision
ordering the rendition of accounts is deemed premature.
PARTNERSHIP; FAILURE OF PARTNER TO PAY THE
WHOLE AMOUNT PROMISED; RESPONSIBILITY.—
Owing to the defendant's failure to pay to the partnership
the whole amount which he bound himself to pay, he
became indebted to it' for the remainder, with interest and
any damages occasioned thereby, but the plaintiff did not
thereby acquire the right to demand rescission "of the
partnership contract under article 1124 of the Civil Code.
ID.; ID.; ID.; STATUTORY CONSTRUCTION.—Article
1124 of the Civil Code cannot be applied to the case in
question, because it refers to the resolution of obligations in
general, whereas articles 1681 and 1682 specifically refer to
the contract of partnership in particular. And it is a well
known principle that special provisions prevail over general
provisions.
