Philippine civil law is rooted in the Spanish Civil Code tradition, codified in the Civil Code of the Philippines (RA 386). Civil attorneys handle disputes involving contracts, obligations, property, succession, and personal and family relations. Cases are filed before the Municipal Trial Court (MTC) or Regional Trial Court (RTC) depending on the amount or nature of the claim.
Common civil law matters: breach of contract, collection of sum of money, damages (moral, actual, exemplary), quasi-delicts, property disputes, settlement of estate, and small claims (cases up to ₱400,000 under the Revised Rules on Small Claims). The Philippine civil law system combines civil law traditions with American procedural influences.
