About this document
Nolo Contendere in Philippine Law by KGTorres is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Nolo contendere is a plea in criminal cases under the Philippine Competition Act that allows a party to not accept or deny charges but accept punishment as if pleading guilty. This plea aims to avoid trial costs and potential civil liabilities. It can only be entered up until arraignment in cases involving anti-competitive agreements. While new to the Philippines, this plea option provides a way for charged parties to partially admit guilt without fully accepting the alleged offenses.
