| At the onset, we must point out that this Court has long held the "piece-meal" imputation of a judgment by successive motions for reconsideration to be anathema.[48] However, as the final arbiter of all legal questions properly brought before it, our decision in any given case constitutes the law of that particular case,[49] from which there is no appeal. Thus, we have on occasion, for overriding and extraordinarily persuasive reasons, granted second motions for reconsideration. No such limitation, however, exists for the Secretary of Justice in this case. Resolutions or decisions rendered by the said office may be appealed to the Office of the President for offenses punishable by reclusion perpetua to death.[50] | |||||
