Case 36: Can a Subcontractor Sue the Project Owner Despite Arbitration? G.R. No. 251463

Imagine you completed nearly ₱97.8 million worth of construction work but received only ₱44.9 million. Grandspan Development Corporation faced this problem after subcontracting work from Advance Engineering Corporation for a coconut processing plant owned by Franklin Baker Inc. Grandspan sued both companies in court using Article 1729 of the Civil Code. The RTC and Court of Appeals dismissed the case and directed the parties to arbitration because the contracts contained arbitration clauses. The Supreme Court affirmed. The Court ruled that subcontractors may invoke Article 1729, but construction disputes covered by arbitration agreements must first be resolved before the Construction Industry Arbitration Commission. The doctrine strengthens CIAC jurisdiction over construction disputes.
