Preliminary Concepts
Jurisdiction
the power and authority of the court to hear,
try and decide a case.
The issue of jurisdiction is both vital and
fatal; vital, because its presence is the source of
power for the trial court to act on all matters
complained of; fatal, because its absence
renders all its actuations null and void.
Jurisdiction cannot be fixed by the will of
the parties; it cannot be acquired through, or
waived, enlarged or diminished by, any act or
omission of the parties. (Municipality of Sogod
vs. Rosal, 201 SCRA 632)
Note however, that aside from jurisdiction
over the subject mater, a court must have
jurisdiction over the case, the persons of the
parties, the issues, and the res before it can try a
particular case.
But while jurisdiction over the subject
matter is a matter of substantive law, the other
kinds of jurisdiction are a matter of procedure.
(Valdepeas vs. People, 16 SCRA 871; People
vs. Mariano, 71 SCRA 600)
Jurisdiction
The authority to
decide a case at all
and not the decision
rendered therein is
what makes up
jurisdiction
Exercise of
Jurisdiction
Where there is
jurisdiction over the
person and the subject
matter, the decision of
all other questions
arising in the case is
but an exercise of
jurisdiction
L A W
jurisdiction,
the
proceedings are null
and
void
unconditionally
Error of
Jurisdiction
Correctible only by
certiorari
A judgment
rendered without
jurisdiction is void
Error of Judgment
Reviewable only by
appeal
An erroneous
judgment by a
competent court is not
a void judgment
Jurisdiction
Deals with the power
of the courts in the
real and substantive
sense
Procedure
Deals with the means by
which such powers are
put into action or the
means by which the
power of the courts are
made effective. (Manila
Railroad
Co.
vs.
Attorney General, 20
Phil. 523)
As a consequence The effects of a mere
of
lack
of procedural error, the

Against
an
Amicable
1. Repudiation
2. Annulment
Note: In case the court referred the case to the
Katarungang Pambarangay Law, any agreement
made or arrived at in the barangay should be
brought back to the court.
The conciliation procedure required under
the Katarungang Pambarangay Law is NOT A
JURISDICTIONAL REQUIREMENT in the
sense that failure to have prior recourse to it
does not deprive the court of its jurisdiction,
either over the subject matter or over the
person of the defendant. Non-compliance with
the condition precedent under said law does not
prevent a court of competent jurisdiction from
exercising its power of adjudication over a case
where defendants FAIL to object to such
exercise of jurisdiction. BUT such objection
should be seasonably made before the court
first taking cognizance of the complaint, and
must be raised in the Answer or in such other
pleading allowed under the Rules of Court.

2003, 405 SCRA 390)

Legal Capacity
The party is free from general disability
or must be in the full exercise of his civil
rights or, in case of juridical entities,
such as a corporation, that it must be
duly registered in accordance with law.
It must be alleged in the complaint,
otherwise, the party must be deemed to
be devoid of legal personality to bring an
action.

Real Party-in-Interest
The party who stands to be benefited or
injured by the judgment in the suit, or
the party entitled to the avails of the
suit.
A party with a present substantial
interest as distinguished from a mere

Every action must be prosecuted or
defended in his name unless otherwise
authorized by law.
Effect of Failure to Name Real
Party-in-Interest
Rule! Every action must be prosecuted and
defended in the name of the real party-ininterest. If the suit is not brought in the
name of or against the real party-in-interest,
a motion to dismiss may be filed on the
ground that the complaint states no cause of
action. In case there is a judgment, it shall
be void.
Exception: A real litigant may be held bound
as a party even if not formally impleaded
provided he had his day in court. An

CROSS-CLAIM
A cross-claim may only be interposed if the
claimant would suffer prejudice from plaintiffs
complaint. Thus, in an action where the plaintiff
dismissed his complaint against a crossclaimant because of an agreement between
them that whatever the cross-claimant may
recover from his co-defendant will be given to
the plaintiff, the SC held that by the dismissal of
the complaint, the cross-claim should also be
dismissed. The cross-claim is proper only if the
cross-claimant would suffer prejudice from
plaintiffs complaint.

Notes:
1. If there is no written explanation why the service or filing was not done personally, the pleading or
paper may be considered as not filed.
2. If the party required to be served has actual knowledge of the judgment or order to be served, he
shall be considered as having been served.
3. Knowledge of order of execution carries with it the knowledge that the judgment has been rendered.
4. Carrying out or acting upon project of partition is an implied admission that an order of partition
had been made.
5. Even if law firm had been dissolved, the lawyer is still considered counsel of record
Sec. 14. Notice of lis pendens.
Lis Pendens an announcement to the whole
world that a particular property is in litigation,
serving as a warning that one who acquires an
interest over said property does so at his own
risk, or that he gambles on the result of the
litigation over said property
Where to File
The plaintiff and the defendant may record in
the Office of the Registry of Deeds of the

or the right of possession of real property.
Effect of Notice of Lis Pendens
Purchasers, or encumbrancers pendente lite
of the property are bound by the judgment
against their predecessor and will be held to be
buyers, or encumbrancers in bad faith.
Grounds for Cancellation by the Judge
a. After proper showing that the notice is for
the purpose of molesting the adverse party.
b. It is not necessary to protect the rights of
the party who caused it to be recorded.

does not authorize a judge to cancel a notice of
lis pendens pending litigation upon the mere
filing of a sufficient bond by the party on whose
title notice is annotated.
Sheriff
Sheriffs deputy
Other proper court officer; or
Any suitable person authorized by the court
for justifiable reasons

RULE 18
PRE-TRIAL
L A W
PRE-TRIAL
a mandatory procedural device by which
the Court is called upon, after the filing
of the last pleading, to compel the
parties and their lawyers to appear
before it for the purposes enumerated
under Sec. 2, Rule 18
aims to take the trial of cases out of the
realm of surprise and maneuvering
duty of plaintiff to move ex-parte that
the case be set for pre-trial after the last
pleading has been filed.
Last Pleading
In Chan vs. Abaya (90 SCRA 6), the calling
of a pre-trial conference where no answer has
yet been filed because of an unresolved motion
for a bill of particulars was held as premature
since the last pleading has not yet been filed.
Reason for Last Pleading It is intended to
fully appraise the court and the parties of all
issues in the case before the pre-trial is
conducted.
Note! Notice of pre-trial shall be served on
counsel, or on the party who has no counsel.
The counsel served with such notice is charged
with the duty of notifying the party represented
by him.
Remedy of Defendant
The remedy of the defendant who failed to
file his pre-trial brief is to file a motion for
reconsideration showing his failure to file pretrial brief was due to F-A-M-E. The motion

Sanctions
Limitations of Deposition:
To ensure that the availment of the modes
of discovery is otherwise untrammeled and
efficacious, the law imposes serious sanctions
on the party who refuses to make discovery
such as:
1. dismissing the action or proceeding or part
thereof;
2. contempt of court, or arrest of the party or
agent of the party;
3. payment of the amount of reasonable
expenses incurred in obtaining a court order
to compel discovery;
4. taking the matters inquired into as
established in accordance with the claim of
the party seeking discovery;
5. refusal to allow the disobedient party to
support or oppose designated claims or
defenses;
6. striking out pleadings or parts thereof;
7. staying further proceedings (Rule 29)
Kinds of Depositions
1. Deposition de be esse one taken in a
pending action. (Sec. 1, Rule 23)
2. Deposition perpetuam rei memoriam
or those taken prior to the institution of an
apprehended or intended action. (Rule 24)
Counsel of party to whom a written request
for admission is addressed under Section 1,
Rule 26 of the Rules of Court may answer
such request for his client (Laada vs. CA,
375 SCRA 543)
Request for admission cannot be made
upon the same subject matters or facts
alleged in the complaint
A party should not be compelled to admit
matters of fact already admitted by his pleading
and concerning which there is no issue, nor
should he be required to make a second denial
of those already denied in his answer to the
complaint. A request for admission is not
intended to merely reproduce or reiterate the

Criminal Cases
1. Leave of court is necessary so that the accused
could present his evidence if the demurrer is
denied.
2. If the court finds the prosecutions evidence
insufficient, it will grant the demurrer by
rendering judgment acquitting the accused.
Judgment of acquittal is not appeallable; double
jeopardy sets-in.
RULE 34
JUDGMENT ON THE PLEADINGS
Judgment on the pleading is proper when
an answer fails to tender an issue, or otherwise
admits the material allegation of the adverse
partys pleading. However, the trial court
cannot direct a judgment on the pleading in the
absence of a motion filed for the purpose by a
party litigant. (De Luna vs. Abrigo, 181 SCRA
150)
Plaintiffs sued defendants for payment
of articles valued at P2,400. In their
answer, defendants admitted their
liability but requested the plaintiff to
wait since they had no money yet, and
were in fact still awaiting the payment
to them of certain accounts receivable.
Is judgment on the pleading proper?
Yes, since after all, the answer fails to tender
a material issue. The alleged temporary
insolvency of the defendants is of no
consequence, for a creditor is generally not an
insurer of his debtors business. (Apelario vs.
Chavez, Oct. 16, 1961)

Requisites of a Judgment
a. It should be in writing, personally and
directly prepared by the judge;
b. It must state clearly and distinctly the facts
and the law on which it is based; and
c. It should contain a dispositive part and
should be signed by the judge and filed with
the clerk of court.
Note! What constitutes rendition of judgment
is not the mere pronouncement of the judgment
in open court but the filing of the decision
signed by the judge and filed with the clerk of
court. (Quintana Sta. Maria vs. Ubay, 87 SCRA
179)
Promulgation the process by which a
decision is published, officially announced,
made known to the public or delivered to the
clerk of court for filing, coupled with notice to
the parties or their counsel
Memorandum Decision the judgment or
final resolution of the appellate court may adopt
by reference the findings of facts and
conclusions of law contained in the decision of
the trial court.

Rendition of Judgment
L A W
RULE 37
NEW TRIAL OR RECONSIDERATION
Judgment by Confession
Judgment upon confession is one which is
rendered against a party upon his petition or
consent. It usually happens when the defendant
appears in court and confesses the right of the
plaintiff to judgment or files a pleading
expressly agreeing to the plaintiffs demand.
1.
The grounds are: fraud, accident, mistake
or excusable negligence or newly discovered
evidence which could not, with reasonable
diligence, have discovered and produced at the
trial, and which if presented would probably alter
the result.
2.
Second motion may be allowed.
1.
The grounds are: the damages awarded
are excessive, that the evidence is insufficient to
justify the decision or final order, or that the
decision or final order is contrary to law.
3.
If a new trial is granted the trial court will
set aside the judgment or final order
2.
Second motion from same party is
prohibited.
3.
If the court finds that excessive damages
have been awarded or that the judgment or
final order is contrary to the evidence or law, it
may amend such judgment or final order
accordingly.

Period to Conduct
At any time during the pendency of a case,
the court may call the parties and their counsel
to a preliminary conference for the purposes
enumerated under Sec. 1, Rule 48.
In the CA, this procedural device may be
availed of not only in original actions but also in
cases on appeal wherein a new trial was granted
on the ground of newly discovered evidence.
The CA can act as a trier of facts, hence the
preliminary conference authorized is a
convenient adjunct to such power and function.

KINDS OF AMENDMENT
1. Before the plea covers both substantial
and formal amendment provided that any
amendment before plea which:
a. Lessens the gravity of the offense
charged and / or
b. Excludes any of the accused from
the complaint of information
Must be filed with leave of court and the
parties, especially the private complainant,
shall be duly furnished copies of the order
AMENDMENT
1. May involve either formal or
substantial changes
2. Amendment before the plea has
been entered can be effected without
leave of court.
3. Amendment is only as to form,
there is no need for another
preliminary investigation and the
retaking of the plea of the accused.
4. An amended information refers to
the same offense charged in the
original information or to an offense
which necessarily includes or is
necessarily included in the original
charge,
hence
substantial
amendments to the information after
the plea has been taken cannot be
made over the objection of the
accused, for if the original
information would be withdrawn,
the accused could invoke double
jeopardy.

RULE 111
PROSECUTION OF CIVIL ACTIONS
Section 1. Institution of criminal and civil
actions.
GENERAL RULE: The civil action for the
recovery of civil liability is deemed impliedly
instituted together with criminal action, where
the complainant in the civil case is same
offended party in the criminal action and both
cases arise from the offense or transaction.
EXCEPTIONS:
a. When the offended party waives the right to
recover damages.
b. When the offended party reserves his right
to institute a separate civil action, and takes
his legal chances in a proceeding where he
has full control and direction.
c. When the offended party exercises the right
to maintain a private suit against the
offender by instituting a civil action against
him prior to the filing of the criminal case.

MADE:

a. the acquittal is based on reasonable doubt
b. the decision contains a declaration that the
liability of the accused is not criminal but
only civil
c. the civil liability is not derived from or
based on the criminal act of which the
accused is acquitted.
The extinction of the civil liability refers
exclusively to civil liability arising from crime;
whereas, the civil liability for the same act
considered as a quasi-delict is not extinguished
even by a declaration in the criminal case that
the criminal act charged has not happened or
has not been committed by the accused.

PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION
Section 1. Preliminary
defined; when required.
Investigation
PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION - is an
inquiry or proceeding to determine whether
there exists sufficient ground to engender a
well-founded belief that a crime cognizable by
the RTC has been committed and that the
respondent is probably guilty thereof, and
should be held for trial. (Sec. 1, Rule 112).
PURPOSE:
1. To protect the accused from the
inconvenience, expenses and burden of
defending himself in a formal trial unless
the reasonable probability of his guilt shall
have been first ascertained in a fairly
summary proceeding by a competent
officer.
2. To protect the state from having to conduct
useless and expensive trials.

TAKE NOTE!
A.M. No. 05-8-26-SC,
which took effect recently on October 3,
2005, amended Rule 114 of the Rules of
Court.
Section 17 (b) no provides that
applications for bail in cases where the
grant of bail is a matter of discretion, or
where the accused seeks to be released
on recognizance, can only be filed in the
court where the case is pending, on trial
or on appeal.
Section 18. Notice of application to
prosecutor.
When admission to bail is a matter of
discretion, the court must give reasonable
notice of the hearing to the prosecutor or
require him to submit his recommendation.
Section 19. Release on bail.
Order of
forfeiture
An
order
of
forfeiture
is
conditional
and
interlocutory, there
being
something
more to be done such
as the production of
the accused within 30
days as provided by
the rules an order of
forfeiture
is
not
appealable.
Order of
confiscation
An
order
of
confiscation is not
independent of the
order of the order
of forfeiture. It is a
judgment
ultimately
determining
the
liability
of
the
surety thereunder,
and therefore final
and execution may
issue at once.

But:
The Supreme Court has established the
invariable ruling that the prosecution
cannot appeal from a judgment wherein
the accused is acquitted for the reason that
he is exposed for the second time to the
danger of being punished for the same
offense. Nor does certiorari lie to restore a
criminal case, which has been terminated by
the acquittal of the accused.

APPEALS TO THE SUPREME COURT
NOT A MATTER OF RIGHT; but a matter of
sound judicial discretion on the part of the
Supreme Court. The prescribed mode of appeal
is by certiorari. The findings of fact of the
appellate court are conclusive on the Supreme
Court.
When certain material facts and circumstances
had been overlooked which if taken into
account, would after the result in that they
would introduce an element of reasonable
doubt which would entitle the accused to
acquittal.
Section 2. Review of decisions of the
Court of Appeals.
Question of law - when the doubt or

Claim
the right to payment

character which cold have been enforced
against the deceased in his lifetime and
could have been reduced to simple money
judgments
Sec. 2. Time within which claims shall be
filed.
Claims against the estate should be filed
with the court, which should NOT be MORE
than 12 months NOR LESS than 6 months
AFTER the date of the FIRST PUBLICATION of
the notice to file the same.
Effect if Claim Not Filed Within the

Rule: Claims not filed within the prescribed
period are barred.
Exception: A creditor must file his claim at
any time BEFORE an order of distribution is
entered subject to the following conditions:
a. There must be an application therefore;
b. A cause must be shown why the
permission should be granted; and
c. The extension of time required to the
filing of the claim shall NOT EXCEED one
(1) month.
The one-month period is counted from the
order allowing the filing of the claim.
Where a Claim Arises from a Contract
Rule: Claims arising from a contract prescribes
in TEN (10) YEARS.
Exception: Section 2, Rule 86. Therefore, the
claim should be presented within the period
prescribed in said section, otherwise it is barred
even if the prescriptive period of ten years has
not expired. In effect, it supersedes the
prescriptive period of ten years. (Rio y
Compania vs. Maslog, 105 Phil. 452,

and upon such terms as are equitable. This
extension of the period shall not exceed one

Contingent claim
A contingent claim is one which, by its
nature is necessarily dependent upon an
uncertain event for its existence or validity. It
may or may not develop into a valid enforceable
claim and its validity and enforceability
depending upon an uncertain event. A

RULE 90
DISTRIBUTION AND PARTITION
OF THE ESTATE
Distribution of Estate
The distribution of the estate can only be made:
a. After all the debts, funeral charges,
expenses of administration, allowance to
the widow, and estate tax have been
made; or
b. Before payment of said obligations only
if the distributees or any of them gives a
bond in a sum fixed by the court
conditioned upon payment of said
obligations within such time as the court
directs, or when provisions is made to
meet those obligations. (Estate of
Hilario Ruiz vs. CA, 252 SCRA 541,
1996).
Payment of Estate Tax Needs No Court
Approval
The approval of the court, sitting in probate,
or as a settlement tribunal over the deceased is
not a mandatory requirement in the collection
of estate taxes. There is nothing in the Tax
Code, and in the pertinent remedial laws that
implies the necessity of the probate or estate
settlement court's approval of the State's claim
for estate taxes, before the same can be
enforced and collected. (Marcos II vs. CA,
GRN 120880, June 5, 1997).

WHO MAY BE ADOPTED Only a legallyfree child may be the subject of inter-country
adoption.
USE OF SURNAME OF THE ADOPTER
BY THE ADOPTEE
Rule: The adoptee may use the surname of the
adopter.
Exception: The minor cannot bear adopter's
surname as a married woman, for her husband
has not joined in the petition for adoption and
cannot join it, because he has children by a
previous marriage.
It is held that, "For one thing, to allow the
minor to adopt the surname of the husband of
the adopter (where the husband had not),
would mislead the public into believing that she
(adoptee) has also been adopted by the
husband, which is not the case. And when later,
questions of successional rights arise, the
husband's consent to the adoption might be
presented to prove that he has actually joined in
the adoption. (Suarez vs. Republic, L20914 December 24, 1965)

This Rule applies not only to proceedings
for correction of innocuous or clerical errors but
also to correct substantial errors such as
citizenship, status, and legitimacy. However in
the latter case, it is necessary that the
proceedings be adversarial in nature.
Requisites of Adversarial proceedings
1. Proper petition is filed where the Civil
Registrar and all parties interested are
impleaded;
2. The order of the hearing must be published;
3. Notice thereof must be given to the Solicitor
General and all parties affected thereby;
4. Opportunity to be heard; and
5. Full blown trial.
NOTE: Proceedings for the correction of
entries should not be considered as establishing
ones status is a manner conclusively beyond
dispute. The status corrected would not have a
superior quality for evidentiary purposes. There
is no increase or dimunition of substantive
right. (Chiao Ben Lim vs. Zosa.)

RULE 129
WHAT NEED NOT BE PROVED
The function of judicial notice is that, it
displaces evidence, since as it stands for
proof, it fulfills the object which evidence is
designed to fulfill and makes evidence
unnecessary.
It is based upon obvious reasons of
convenience and expediency and operates to
save trouble, expense, and time which
would be lost in establishing, in the ordinary
way, facts which do not admit of
contradiction.
Definitions:
1. Judicial Notice no more than that the
court will bring to its aid and consider,
without proof of the facts, its knowledge of
those matters of public concern which are
known by all well-informed persons.
2. Judicial Knowledge cognizance of
certain facts which a judge under rules of
legal procedure or otherwise may properly
take or act upon without proof because they
are already known to him, or is assumed to
have, by virtue of his office.
Rules:
1. The following facts need NOT be proved:

Question:
IS SELF-SERVING RULE APPLICABLE TO
JUDICIAL ADMISSIONS?
Answer:
NO. The self-serving rule which prohibits the
admission of declaration of a witness in his
favor applies only to extrajudicial admissions. If
the declaration is made in the open court, such
evidence, it is not self-serving. It is admissible
because the witness may be cross-examined on
that matter. However, whether it will be
credible or not, is a matter of appreciation on
the part of the court.

Question:
The name Best Evidence Rule is said
to be Misleading.
Answer:
It has been said that the best evidence rule
has a misleading name. Contrary to what it
implies, the rule does not require a party to
present the best or most probative evidence on
an issue, where more than one means of proof is
available. Rather, the best evidence rule is a
specific evidentiary requirement applicable to
documentary evidence. It might therefore be

3. Presumption of voluntariness: A
confession is deemed to be voluntary and
the confessant has the burden of proving
that it was given as a result of violence,
intimidation, threat or promise of reward or
leniency.
Testimonial Knowledge
Definitions:
1. Hearsay Rule: A witness can testify only
to those facts which he knows of his
personal knowledge; that is, which are
derived from his own perception.
2. Hearsay oral testimony or documentary
evidence as to somebodys words or actions
outside of court where they are offered to
prove the truth of the very natters they
assert; includes all assertions which have
not been subject to opportunity for crossexamination by the adversary at the trial in
which they are being offered against him.
Reasons Why Hearsay is Inadmissible:
1. The source of evidence is not before the
court to be cross-examined.
2. The statement made was not made under
oath or solemn affirmation.
3. The court must consider the personal
appearance and behavior of the witness in
evaluating his credibility.

a. Requisites:
1) the declarant is dead or unable to
testify,
2) It relates to a fact against the interest
of the declarant,
3) At the time he made the declaration,
the declarant was aware that the
same was contrary to his aforesaid
interest, and
4) The declarant had no motive to
falsify and believed such declaration
to be true.
The Interest Must be Actual or
Real: It is essential that at the time of
the statement, the declarants interest
affected thereby should be actual, real or
apparent, not merely contingent, future
or conditional; otherwise, the
declaration would not in reality be
against interest. Similarly, declarations
of a former owner of the property
affected are not admissible.
Admissible Against Third Persons:
If all the requisites for admission of a
declaration against interest are present,
the admission is admissible not only
against the declarant but against third
persons even against the State.
ADMISSION
DECLARATION
1. is made by the party himself, is primary 1. In declarations against interest, the declarant
evidence and competent though he be must first be accounted for as dead, absent from the
presented in court and ready to testify

b. EXCEPTION: Where such negative

a. Classes of Presumption
1) Presumption of Law (Juris) a
deduction which the law expressly
directs to be made from particular
facts. When the basic fact is
established in an action, the
existence of the presumed fact must
be assumed.
2) Presumption
of
Facts
(Hominis) a deduction which
reason draws from the facts proved
without an express direction to that
effect. It has no significance as to the
duty of one or of the other party to
produce evidence, because there is
no rule of law attached to it.
b. Classes of Presumption Juris
1) Conclusive Presumption (jure
et de jure) one which cannot be
overcome by evidence to the
contrary.
2) Disputable Presumption (juris
tantum) one which is satisfactory
if uncontradicted, but may be
contradicted and overcome by other
evidence.

b. Criminal Cases:
1) Proof
Beyond
Reasonable
Doubt evidence that produces in
an unprejudiced mind that moral
certainty (not absolute certainty) so
necessary to bring about conviction.
2) Moral Certainty a certainty that
convinces and satisfies the reason
and conscience of those who are to
act upon it.
3) The Equipoise Rule Where the
evidence of the parties in a criminal
case is evenly balanced, the
constitutional
presumption
of
innocence should tit the scales in
favor of the accused. (People vs.
Benemerito, GRN 120389, Nov. 21,
1996)
RULE 133
WEIGHT AND SUFFICIENCY OF
EVIDENCE
Admissibility not Synonymous with
Credibility: The mere fact that evidence is
admissible does not necessarily mean that it
is also credible. The testimony of a witness
may be admissible if relevant but it is not
for this reason alone believable.
Prima facie evidence evidence which,
standing
alone
unexplained
or
uncontroverted, is sufficient to maintain the
proposition affirmed. It is such as, in
judgment of law, is sufficient to establish
the fact, and if not rebutted, remains
sufficient for that purpose.
Rules:
1. QUANTUM OF PROOF:
a. Civil Cases
1) Preponderance of Evidence
evidence which is of greater weight,
or more convincing, than that which
is offered in opposition to it; that
testimony adduced by one side
which is more credible and
conclusive than that of the other.
