About this document

Appeal Fee Requirement in Philippine Law by Jm Brj is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The Supreme Court of the Philippines dismissed a petition for review of a Court of Appeals decision that had dismissed an appeal for failure to pay required docket fees. The Court of Appeals had refused to accept late payment of the fees, as perfecting an appeal requires timely payment. The Supreme Court upheld this decision, finding that procedural rules cannot be disregarded without compelling reasons, and that the petitioner did not provide sufficient justification for relaxing the rules in this case.
