The Learning Child, Inc. vs. Lazaro [340 SCRA 72, September 7, 2000]

This is the review of the compromise agreement arrived at between The Learning Child school and its employees in an illegal dismissal case. Since both parties had agreed to settle the case amicably, the school agreed to pay an amount slightly less than what the illegally dismissed employees were demanding. The employees in turn agreed not to institute any case or suit against the school over the matter. The court held that since the agreement was not contrary, to law, good morals, public order, or public policy, it approved the same and enjoyed the parties to abide by all its terms and conditions.
