	GR No. 181284 2015-10-20	LOLOY UNDURAN v. RAMON ABERASTURI PERALTA, J.
All decisions of the NCIP may be brought on Appeal by Petition for Review to the Court of Appeals within fifteen (15) days from receipt of the Order or Decision.[17]
	GR No. 209447 2015-08-11	PRESIDENTIAL COMMISSION ON GOOD GOVERNMENT v. WINLOVE M. DUMAYAS VILLARAMA, JR., J.
Jurisdiction is defined as the power and authority of a court to hear, try, and decide a case.[26] Jurisdiction over the subject matter is conferred by the Constitution or by law and is determined by the allegations of the complaint and the relief prayed for, regardless of whether the plaintiff is entitled to recovery upon all or some of the claims prayed for therein. Jurisdiction is not acquired by agreement or consent of the parties, and neither does it depend upon the defenses raised in the answer or in a motion to dismiss.[27]
	GR No. 195615 2014-04-21	BANK OF COMMERCE v. RADIO PHILIPPINES NETWORK ABAD, J.
No de facto merger took place in the present case simply because the TRB owners did not get in exchange for the bank's assets and liabilities an equivalent value in Bancommerce shares of stock. Bancommerce and TRB agreed with BSP approval to exclude from the sale the TRB's contingent judicial liabilities, including those owing to RPN, et al.[21]
	GR No. 176906 2009-08-04	ANDREW B. NUDO v. AMADO S. CAGUIOA NACHURA, J.
An action to annul a final judgment is an extraordinary remedy, which is not to be granted indiscriminately by the Court. It is a recourse equitable in character allowed only in exceptional cases. The reason for the restriction is to prevent this extraordinary action from being used by a losing party to make a complete farce of a duly promulgated decision that has long become final and executory.[15] Under Section 2, Rule 47 of the Rules of Civil Procedure, the only grounds for annulment of judgment are extrinsic fraud and lack of jurisdiction. Lack of jurisdiction as a ground for annulment of judgment refers to either lack of jurisdiction over the person of the defending party or over the subject matter of the claim.[16]
	GR No. 147406 2008-07-14	VENANCIO FIGUEROA Y CERVANTES v. PEOPLE NACHURA, J.
We note at this point that estoppel, being in the nature of a forfeiture, is not favored by law. It is to be applied rarely--only from necessity, and only in extraordinary circumstances. The doctrine must be applied with great care and the equity must be strong in its favor.[38] When misapplied, the doctrine of estoppel may be a most effective weapon for the accomplishment of injustice.[39] Moreover, a judgment rendered without jurisdiction over the subject matter is void.[40] Hence, the Revised Rules of Court provides for remedies in attacking judgments rendered by courts or tribunals that have no jurisdiction over the concerned cases. No laches will even attach when the judgment is null and void for want of jurisdiction.[41] As we have stated in Heirs of Julian Dela Cruz and Leonora Talaro v. Heirs of Alberto Cruz,[42]
	GR No. 163445 2007-12-18	ASIA INTERNATIONAL AUCTIONEERS v. GUILLERMO L. PARAYNO PUNO, CJ.
Jurisdiction is defined as the power and authority of a court to hear, try and decide a case.[23] The issue is so basic that it may be raised at any stage of the proceedings, even on appeal.[24] In fact, courts may take cognizance of the issue even if not raised by the parties themselves.[25] There is thus no reason to preclude the CA from ruling on this issue even if allegedly, the same has not yet been resolved by the trial court.
