SENATE ADOPTS BILL INCREASING JURISDICTIONAL AMOUNTS
The Philippine Senate adopted on Monday Senate Bill No. 1886 that targets to help de-clog the dockets and speed up the disposition of cases of the second level courts and first level courts by expanding the jurisdictional threshold. We are in an era where justice has crawled so slowly. The last time we amended the jurisdictional threshold or amounts was in 2004, which meant there are a lot of people who have waited for their cases to be called. If we bring down the load of second level courts and give some to first level courts, the process of law will be faster, Senator Richard J. Gordon, author of SB 1886, said during the period of amendments for the bill.
GORDON S BILL THAT SEEKS TO DE-CLOG DOCKETS IN REGIONAL TRIAL COURTS DISCUSSED IN SENATE
Senator Richard J. Gordon, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Justice and Human Rights, stressed at the Plenary on Wednesday that Senate Bill No. 1886, which he sponsored, targets to help de-clog the dockets of the second level courts or the Regional Trial Courts and to speed up the disposition of cases.
During the interpellation for SBN 1886, Gordon said that this objective can be attained by expanding the jurisdictional threshold of the first level courts or the Municipal Trial Courts as there are a higher number of pending cases at the second level courts.
