Question

Classification of Jurisdiction: General vs. Special

Consider the following scenarios:

Scenario 1:

In a criminal case involving theft, the Regional Trial Court (RTC) has jurisdiction over the case based on the value of the stolen property. However, the crime was committed within the premises of a military camp. The accused is a civilian employee of the camp. Can the Military Tribunal assume jurisdiction over the case?

Scenario 2:

An individual filed a complaint against their neighbor for violation of the city ordinance on noise pollution. The city ordinance empowers the Metropolitan Trial Court (MeTC) to hear and decide such cases. Can the Regional Trial Court (RTC) assume jurisdiction over the case despite the existence of a specific court designated for this type of offense?

Discuss the classification of jurisdiction in each scenario, specifically the distinction between general jurisdiction and special jurisdiction. Provide a legal analysis of whether the court mentioned has the proper jurisdiction to handle the cases presented.
