Supreme Court of Puerto Rico

Juan Felix Trinidad Garcia Y Otro v. Yamil Chade, Fulano De Tal

January 18, 20012001 TSPR 7

Summary

The Supreme Court of Puerto Rico affirmed the Court of Appeals, holding that the 1992 letter‑contract between Yamil Chade and Félix Trinidad Jr. was not a contract but merely an informational document, that the original 1991 management contract was enforceable because it was ratified after the boxer reached majority, and that doctrines of error and acts of own do not apply where no contract exists. The Court also declined to disturb the appellate court’s factual findings.
