AMADO B. TEODORO v. CA

This case has been cited 1 times or more.

QUISUMBING, J.
A decision becomes final upon the lapse of the period to appeal therefrom, without an appeal[22] or motion for reconsideration or new trial having been filed.[23] The filing of a motion for reconsideration or new trial suspends the running of the period to appeal.[24] PGFI filed its motions in the RTC within the period to appeal.[25] Likewise, its petition for review before the CA was filed within the period of extension granted by the CA.[26] Thus, the RTC decision never became final, contrary to petitioner's claim.
