+ June 04, 2021 PETITIONER Sheila Monte filed a complaint against respondent Marivin Oreiro for illegal dismissal, money claims, damages and attorney’s fees. The Executive Labor Arbiter (ELA) found for petitioner. In her appeal to the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) respondent Oreiro presented evidence to prove her loss of confidence on petitioner.
Before the Court of Appeals (CA), petitioner pointed out that Oreiro’s belated submission of documents was not reasonably explained especially when these were available even before the inception of the case. The CA held that the NLRC is not precluded from receiving evidence on appeal as technical rules of evidence are not binding in labor cases.
