| Nonetheless, courts will decide cases, otherwise moot and academic if: first, there is a grave violation of the Constitution; second, the exceptional character of the situation and the paramount public interest is involved; third, when the constitutional issue raised requires formulation of controlling principles to guide the bench, the bar and the public; and fourth, the case is capable of repetition yet evading review.[48] We find that the presence of the second and fourth exceptions justified the CA in not dismissing the case despite the termination of Bt talong field trials. | |||||
