    Pioneer Insurance vs. CA G.R. No. 84197; July 28, 1989 FACTS: Lim is an owner-operator of Southern Airlines (SAL).

    Japan Domestic Airlines (JDA) and Lim entered into a sales contract. Pioneer Insurance and Surety Corp. as surety executed its surety bond in favor of JDA on behalf of its principal Lim. Border Machinery and Heacy Equipment Co, Inc., Francisco and Modesto Cervantes, and Constancio Maglana contributed funds based on the misrepresentation of Lim that they will form a new corporation to expand his business. They executed two separate indemnity agreements in favor of Pioneer, one signed by Maglana and the other jointly signed by Lim for SAL, Bormaheco and the Cervanteses. The indemnity agreements stipulated that the indemnitors principally agree and bind themselves jointly and severally to indemnify and hold and save Pioneer from and against any/all damages, losses, etc. of whatever kind and nature may incur in consequence of having become surety. Lim executed in favor of Pioneer a deed of chattel mortgage as security. Upon default on the payments, Pioneer paid for him and filed a petition for the foreclosure of chattel mortgage as security. Maglana, Bormaheco and the Cervantess filed cross-claims against Lim alleging that they were not privies to the contracts signed by Lim and for recovery of the sum of money they advanced to Lim for the purchase of the aircrafts. The decision was rendered holding Lim liable to pay. ISSUE: 1. Whether Pioneer has a cause of action against respondents. 2. Whether failure to incorporate automatically resulted to de facto partnership. HELD: 1. , Pioneer has no right to institute and maintain in its own name an action for the benefit of the reinsurers. It is well-settled that an action brought by an attorney-in-fact in his own name instead of that of the principal will not prosper, and this is so even where the name of the principal is disclosed in the complaint. An attorney-in-fact is not a real party in interest, that there is no law permitting an action to be brought by an attorney-in-fact. 2. NO. Partnership inter se does not necessarily exist, for ordinarily persons cannot be made to assume the relation of partners as between themselves, when their purpose is that no partnership shall exist and it should be implied only when necessary to do justice between the parties; thus, one who takes no part except to subscribe for stock in a proposed corporation which is never legally formed does not become a partner with other subscribers who engage in business under the name of the pretended corporation, so as to be liable as such in an action for settlement of the alleged partnership and contribution.
