About this document
Hierarchy of Courts in Certiorari Cases by Pam Otic-Reyes is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Supreme Court dismissed the petition, finding that the petitioner failed to observe the doctrine of hierarchy of courts by not first filing the petition with the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals and Supreme Court have original concurrent jurisdiction over petitions for certiorari, and the rule on hierarchy of courts determines the proper venue. As the petitioner did not demonstrate any special or important reasons for directly filing with the Supreme Court, the petition was dismissed.
