Question

I. GENERAL PRINCIPLES

C. Hierarchy of Courts, Doctrine of Non-Interference, and Judicial Stability

Mr. Dela Cruz, a resident of Manila, filed a complaint in the Regional Trial Court (RTC) against Ms. Santos, a resident of Quezon City, for damages arising from a car accident. After the trial, the RTC rendered a decision in favor of Mr. Dela Cruz and awarded him Php 500,000 in damages.

Unsatisfied with the decision, Ms. Santos filed an appeal before the Court of Appeals (CA). While the appeal was pending, Ms. Santos filed a motion with the CA to suspend the enforcement of the RTC decision. The CA granted the motion and issued an order suspending the enforcement of the decision.

Mr. Dela Cruz, feeling aggrieved, filed a petition for review on certiorari before the Supreme Court (SC), arguing that the CA committed an error in suspending the enforcement of the RTC decision.

In light of the given scenario:

  1. Discuss the hierarchy of the Philippine courts, including the jurisdiction and functions of each court.
  2. Explain the doctrine of non-interference and its significance in the Philippine judicial system.
  3. Evaluate the validity and effects of the CA's order suspending the enforcement of the RTC decision.
  4. Discuss the concept of judicial stability and its importance in promoting the rule of law.
