| Jurisdiction is the authority to hear and determine a cause or the right to act in a case. The general rule is that where there is jurisdiction of the person and subject matter, the resolution of all questions arising in the case is but an exercise of that jurisdiction.[34] The grant to a tribunal or agency of adjudicatory power, or the authority to hear and adjudge cases, should normally and logically be deemed to include the grant of authority to enforce or execute the judgments it renders, unless the law otherwise provides.[35] This is so because the authority to decide cases is inutile unless accompanied by the authority to see to it that what has been decided is carried out.[36] | |||||
