Legal Question in Business Law in Philippines
Hi, I need to know what file can be filed against me if we were a group that invested money on a business, i handled the money and transactions. Now there is no written document that they handed the money to me and that the client really exists (even if he does exist). But the business went sour and client did not pay so all our investment was gone. Now they are demanding their money back (even if we all lost money) and threatening to take me to court. i want to know what case they can build against me or if they have a case because no written transaction ever occurred. Thanks

They can charge you for estafa or a simple collection suit. Even if they have no written documents but witnesses can prove that they handed the money to you would be enough to charge you criminally.The weight of evidence required in a preliminary investigation for a criminal case is a simple probable cause and not proof beyond reasonable doubt.Once the case is in court then the proof now is beyond reasonable doubt.
