In a resolution made public on Monday, Feb. 8, the SC decided to deny De Lima’s motion for reconsideration “as the basic issues raised therein have been passed upon by this Court and no substantial arguments were presented to warrant the reversal of the questioned Resolution.”

Peralta said that all the programs and initiatives “and all the previous ones…are all envisioned to serve as long-term reforms for the Judiciary.”
Among the reforms undertaken by the SC at the start of Peralta’s term in late 2019 were the revisions of several rules of procedures and the creation of investigative bodies to probe on erring Judiciary members and court personnel.
Remedial measures adopted to contain the pandemic were the online filing of cases and pleadings in courts, conduct of video conferencing to expedite hearing of cases, and the adoption of skeletal force and the four-day workweek in the courts.
