Practice question
A claimant can avoid PHP10,000 of additional loss only by spending PHP100,000 on a measure that yields no other benefit. No cheaper workable alternative exists, and no special obligation requires it. The defendant says Article2203 categorically requires that expenditure. Which is correct?
- The duty of reasonable diligence does not categorically demand that grossly disproportionate expenditure
- Mitigation always requires spending any sum the defendant names
- The claimant must increase the loss by PHP90,000
- The article makes all costs irrelevant
- Refusal automatically forfeits every original claim
