Practice question
A proper judgment joins the statutory public defendants and private wrongdoer. Execution collects PHP1million of a PHP3million compensatory award, then is duly returned unsatisfied for the remaining PHP2million with the required certification and showing. All other conditions are met. Does partial recovery categorically bar any Fund payment?
- No;97 addresses the amount remaining unpaid after the prescribed execution process
- Yes, collecting one peso bars all further payment
- No, so the claimant receives the full PHP3million again from the Fund
- Yes, the wrongdoer’s partial payment erases the entire judgment
- No execution record is relevant
