| A liberal application of the Rules is in line with the state's policy to recover ill-gotten wealth. In case of doubt, courts should proceed with caution in granting a motion to dismiss based on demurrer to evidence. An order granting demurrer to evidence is a judgment on the merits.[170] This is because while a demurrer "is an aid or instrument for the expeditious termination of an action,"[171] it specifically "pertains to the merits of the case."[172] | |||||
