BERSAMIN, J. |
||||
| A decision rendered on a complaint in a civil action or proceeding does not bind or prejudice a person not impleaded therein, for no person shall be adversely affected by the outcome of a civil action or proceeding in which he is not a party.[1] Hence, such person cannot bring an action for the annulment of the judgment under Rule 47 of the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure, except if he has been a successor in interest by title subsequent to the commencement of the action, or the action or proceeding is in rem the judgment in which is binding against him. | |||||
