    FEB Leasing and Finance Corp owned an oil tanker that was registered under their name but leased to BG Hauler, Inc. While making a left turn, the oil tanker hit and killed Loretta Baylon as she was crossing the street. The Supreme Court ruled that as the registered owner, FEB Leasing and Finance Corp is directly responsible for any consequences from the operation of the vehicle, regardless of who the actual owner is. Even though the vehicle was leased, the sale or lease would not be binding to third parties injured in an accident unless registered with the Land Transportation Office.

    FEB Leasing and Finance Corp vs. Spouses Baylon et.al.

    GR No. 181398, June 29, 2011

    FACTS:
    An Isuzu oil tanker, registered in the name of petitioner FEB Leasing and Finance Corporation and leased to BG Hauler, Inc., was running along Del Monte
    Avenue in Quezon City. While executing a left turn upon reaching an intersection, the oil tanker hit Loretta Baylon, daughter of respondent spouses Sergio
    and MaritessBaylon, who was then crossing the Del Monte Avenue. Due to the strong impact, Loretta was violently thrown away resulting to her death.

    ISSUE:
    Whether or not FEB Leasing and Finance Corp. (now BPI Leasing Corp.) should be held liable

    RULING:
    Yes. In accordance with the law on compulsory motor vehicle registration, with respect to the public and third persons, the registered owner of a motor
    vehicle is directly and primarily responsible for the consequence of its operation regardless of who the actual vehicle owner might be. Well-settled is the rule
    that the registered owner of the vehicle is liable for quasi-delicts resulting from its use. Thus, even if the vehicle has already been sold, leased or transferred
    to another person at the time the vehicle figured in an accident, the registered vehicle owner would still be liable for damages caused by the accident. The
    sale, transfer or lease of the vehicle, which is not registered with the Land Transportation Office, will not bind third persons aggrieved in an accident
    involving the vehicle.
