Under the abuse of right principle found in Article 19 of the Civil Code,[9] a person must, in the exercise of his legal right or duty, act in good faith. He would be liable if he instead acts in bad faith, with intent to prejudice another. Complementing this principle are Articles 20[10] and 21[11] of the Civil Code which grant the latter indemnity for the injury he suffers because of such abuse of right or duty.[12]
