Civil Procedure Part VI (Rule 18)

We’ve covered Motions and Dismissal of Actions in our last post. Let’s now go to the rather long but important rule on Pre-trial. “The importance of pre-trial in civil actions cannot be overemphasized. In Balatico v. Rodriguez, the Court, citing Tiu v. Middleton, delved on the significance of pre-trial, thus:Pre-trial is an answer to the

Civil Procedure Part V (Rules 15 and 17)

We’re done with Summons, let’s move on to Rule 15, Motions. RULE 15- MOTIONS Why don’t we start with the last provision of Rule 15 to shake things up?

We’re done with Rules 1-4 in our previous post, let’s continue with Rule 5. But wait, before that, let’s have a bird’s eye view of the flow of ordinary civil actions for initiatory pleadings:1. It starts with Rule 2: Cause of Action– Do you have a cause of action? 2. If you have a cause

Civil Procedure Part I (Rules 1-4)

Jurisdiction

Our flow will be guided by Dean Tranquil Salvador III’s lectures. General v. Special Jurisdiction General Jurisdiction: The power to adjudicate all controversies, except those expressly withheld from the plenary powers of the court Special Jurisdiction: Which restricts the court’s jurisdiction only to particular cases and subject to such limitations as may be provided by
