Remedial Law February 24
Remedial Law February 24
As you can see, rule 1 applies to both civpro and crimpro. Rule 1 not amended. Amendment starts in
Rule 6 (kinds of pleadings). CivPro taas kaayo. daghan kaayog rules. CrimPro mubo ra. Recently in 2017,
SC approved the revised guidelines on continuous trial.
Continuous Trial for Criminal Cases (Read) Revised Guidelines daw pero in truth, amendment ni oy.
This guideline took effect Sept. 1, 2017. Time of CJ Sereno. Special Committee was headed by AJ and
subsequently CJ Peralta. Amends some rules in CrimPro.
Arraignment
- plea-bargaining
- if victimless crime, the apprehending officer with consent of the public prosecutor
- RA 9165, before, does not allow plea-bargaining. Struck by SC kay procedural man ang plea-
bargaining. Ilaha ra na nga power.
Even in criminal case, naa na mediation. (if mediatable) cases punishable by arresto mayor man ngali.
CONDUCT OF PRE-TRIAL
Marking of evidence
Bail
in the past, nay magfile og petition for bail. butngan dayun niya og notice of hearing. Mao na ang SC
giklaro na nila. Only prosecution will present evidence. Court will then resolve petition for bail. Accused
can still cross examine witness. Kay ang purpose ani is to established that the evidence of guilt is strong.
Affidavit dapat. wala gibutang if naa pa redirect and recross. Expert witness no need to observe their
demeanor. Applicable sa mga expert witness and the likes. Remember na dapat nay pre-trial brief.
OFFER OF EVIDENCE
Offer of Evidence shall be made orally. Admissibility of evidence ra ang issue ani so you object. Comment
admitted gihapon na.
DEMURRER TO EVIDENCE
MEMORANDA
Atung mga judges sa una, mga litigation lawyers to. Wa pa man tung Cayetano vs Monsod. Bagtik gyud
kay mga practitioners man before.
Continuous Trial is actually amendment not mere revision of the guidelines. Amendment pero taman
Rule 35 ra. Taman ra Rule 35 pero applies to all cases.
Criminal case, nay voluntary surrender, sa civil case, naa sad ta voluntary appearance in court which can
even be effected by filing pleadings and invoking the authority of the court. You can no longer question
the jurisdiction of the court if you personally appeared. Apply for bail if non-bailable. Put up bail if
bailable.
In civil case, defendant required to file answer as stated in the summons. In criminal case, no filing of
answer but he will enter his plea. After filing answer, walay issue kay admitted tanan. Motion for
judgment on the pleadings na dayun judgment na dayun. Sa criminal case, if mag admit sad si accused,
walay judgment on the pleading, judgment na dayun. Requirement to answer is a part of constitutional
due process. Rudiments of Fair Play.
In civil case, if the answer tenders issue, pre-trial dayun inig human trial. sa criminal case, way pre-trial
brief. Sa sandiganbayan, in order to have an orderly proceedings, required ang pre-trial brief pero
limited ang content kay di mana gud required sa criminal. Marking, stipulation of facts and preferred
dates. In civil, required gyud ang pre-trial brief within 3 days sa pre-trial. Follow gyud ang notice of pre-
trial. Necessary ang presence sa party and ilang counsel. Sa criminal, counsels lang bisan pa wala ang
party. Naa gihapon markings.
Pre-Trial Order will be issued. Common ni siya sa Criminal and Civil. Mao ni ang guide sa court and
parties during the course of trial. Ma-limit na man ang issues sa pre-trial through stipulation of facts.
Trial na. Plaintiff present his evidence. Si defendant na sad. Rebuttal dayun surrebuttal. Ang sa criminal
case, if approved ang rebuttal, matic na ang sur rebuttal. Means of enforcing/protecting your rights
under substantive law. If you are into litigation, master your procedure.
After trial, judgment. Remedy of MR sa civil and criminal. parehas ra. CRIMINAL 121 sa CIVIL (MR) 37,
MNT (NDE). CIVIL, either party. sa CRIMINAL, prosecution cannot appeal kay double jeopardy will sit in.
si defense ra kung conviction. How about if mag MR si prosecution? Final and executory na ang
judgment of acquittal diba?
During period of appeal, duha ang option man gud: notice to appeal or file MR.
sa civpro naay motions, sa crimpro wala. mga tapulan. Rule 1, Section 3. Applicable gihapon ang Rule 15
sa criminal procedure. Wa sad rules on sub poena ang crimpro. Rule 21 ang sub poena. but again, balik
ts Rule 1, Section 3.
WHERE TO APPEAL?
Kanang mga green, sa civpro mga modes of discovery ni. Sa crimpro pud, kanang green rule 126, naa ta
search warrant. Application for search warrant, naa pa na docket number, pero ex parte na. usually mag
file mga law enforcers. If naa na search warrant, pag serve naay makuha nga evidence. Himo report
regarding sa seized items dayun si law enforcer will now file criminal action. Of course, agi gihapon
fiscal. Wala na ning search warrant sa civpro.
If sa criminal, I-apply na nimu ang modes of discovery. Pwede na murefuse ang tawo kay naa sad
constitutional rights.
Mao na dili kayo detailed ang crimpro kay naa na mana sa civpro. Practically the same.
In a civil case, nay judgment. In criminal case, nay promulgation of judgment. Presence of Accused, as a
general rule, is required kay verdict will be read. With this general idea, we will go back to civil
procedure and tackle the general proceedings. Next meeting, Tuesday,
